A Christmas Memory

Friday, December 12 @ noon

Area veteran actors Leslie Glassmire and Cliff Feldman present Truman Capote’s, A Christmas Memory, a dramatization of an autobiographical short story that has become a Christmas classic. “The evocative narrative focuses on country life, friendship, and the joy of giving during the Christmas season, and it also gently yet poignantly touches on loneliness and loss.” Music by the Celtic folk group The Loose Flagstones will fill out the festive afternoon presentation. Presented by the Friends of the Library.
