The production at Plumb Memorial Library will be held upstairs in the library’s elegant 1895 Romanesque Revival-style Reading Room which features a soaring cathedral ceiling, Victorian wing chairs and a massive fireplace.
This year is the first time VSF will perform at the Seymour Historical Society. The company is very excited to be presenting this beautiful story of redemption and the true meaning of Christmas in its debut at the venue.
Performances are being presented to the public free of charge with a suggested donation of $10 per person.
Valley Shakespeare Festival is a federally-certified non-profit theatre company based in Shelton. It is known throughout the Valley as the company which performs free full-length productions of Shakespeare plays in Shelton’s Riverwalk-Veterans Memorial Park each summer in July and its infamous Shakespeare in the Bar series which runs twice yearly in local eating establishments.
A Christmas Carol, adapted for the event by VSF’s Executive/Artistic Director Tom Simonetti, will be performed with minimal props and costuming and a cast of local and out-of-state actors, many of whom returning audience members will recognize from previous VSF productions.
Audience members will also have an opportunity to mix and mingle with the cast and crew after both performances.
For more information or to make reservations, please call Valley Shakespeare Festival at 203-513-9446 or visit www.vsfestival.org.
Seating is limited at both venues, so please reserve your place early and begin your holiday season by celebrating the true spirit of Christmas with this classic tale for all ages.
This is a press release from Valley Shakespeare Festival, a 501(c)(3)non-profit theatre company dedicated to bringing free theater to the communities of the lower Naugatuck Valley and beyond.
