“A Child’s Christmas in
Wales” by Dylan Thomas, one of the featured plays, will be a
sparkling rendition of this classic. Performers will read and act,
and invite the audience to join them in song.

“Memories of a Wonderful
Life,” by Jonathan M. Zaley, is an audience-participation Christmas
comedy that puts a friendly twist on a holiday classic. Arizzi said,
“If you recall the movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ you’ll
love this play."

Gower, Clarence the Angel, Mary, Mr. Potter, Uncle Billy, Zuzu, Bert
the cop, Ernie the taxi cab driver, and even God, played as Joseph. Arizzi added, “We will need audience help to play all the
characters. We’ll give you the lines so you can join in the fun.”
