‘A Holiday Sampler’ Living Literature performance comes to Cranston Library

Posted

On Sunday, Dec. 16 the Cranston Public Library and Living Literature will host a free performance of “A Holiday Sampler” at Central Library, 140 Sockanosett Cross Road, Cranston. This performance is a 45-minute reader’s theater-style presentation of stories, poems and essays celebrating the spirit and practice of Christmas by Living Literature, a group of Rhode Island-based actors who take literature from the page to the stage.

Light holiday refreshments will be served at 1:30 p.m.; the performance will begin at 2 p.m. This is free and open to the public. This offbeat, lighthearted look at the most indelible of holidays is best appreciated by an adult audience, but children are welcome.

Husband-and-wife team Anne Scurria and Living Literature artistic director Barry Press will perform adaptations of holiday works by such authors as Louisa May Alcott, Robert Frost, Ogden Nash, Grace Paley, Loudon Wainwright, Leo Tolstoy, Shel Silverstein, Mary Oliver, Richard Wilbur, Pearl S. Buck, Shel Silverstein and more.
