We'll have strolling minstrels, wenches and children passing out food and drink, and some well-known carols with audience participation at the end.

The audience is invited to bring their own dinner to enjoy during the festivities. Cider and sweets will be provided. Or you may order a gourmet medieval picnic for two in advance and we will have it waiting for you at the box office!

Christmas Punch

A festive concoction with a wicked kick. Two one-act plays: Robert Benchley's classic "Christmas Afternoon in the Manner if Not the Style of Dickens", followed by "The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of A Christmas Carol," by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr. - about a wildly inept production of "A Christmas Carol" staged by a community women's group. Great holiday therapy! Starring Diane Quaid, T. Frady, Glenn Wall, Hannah Carrita, and Dottie Cotter. "God help us, every one!" Presented by Wit's End Arts.
