A Holiday Performance: A Christmas Memory
Ben May Main Library Thursday, December 15th 7:00pm
The Ben May Main Library presents a dramatized version of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory, performed by local theater veterans, E A Keeble and William W. Watts.
This humorous, touching tale is told by a young man remembering his life as a 7 year old boy in rural Alabama and his experiences with his "best friend," an elderly, eccentric cousin who embraces all of life with childlike wonder. They are planning, as they do every Christmas season, to make fruitcakes with their hard earned pennies, collecting pecans and buying whiskey from a mysterious American Indian bootlegger named HaHa Jones. What happens that Christmas is both reenactment of the rituals they perform each Christmas and a surprising adventure never to be repeated again.
Admission is free. For more information, please call 208-7097.
