SUMMARY:Possum Point Players presents\, THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS
DESCRIPTION:THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS\n\n    by Pat Cook\n\n    based on the book by L. Frank Baum\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered just where Santa Claus came from? L. Frank Baum knew. The same man who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz lets us in on his secret: the story of Saint Nicholas as told to him by Necile\, the nymph who found Claus and raised him as her own in the world of Knooks\, Faeries\, Ryls and\, yes\, even the dreaded Awgwas.\n\n \n“Beware the Awgwas\,” Necile warns Claus. “they hide under beds to frighten human children!” And so Claus decides he must leave the world of the Immortals and live among the humans\, making toys to make children happy. He gets help from Jack Frost\, who shows him the Frost Gale\, allowing Claus and his sleigh to fly\, and from two runaway Knooks\, Lem and Barlo\, who want to hear the children laugh.\n\n \nThis delightful tale answers once and for all how Santa Claus made the first toy\, why he climbs down chimneys and\, most of all\, how he learned to laugh that great “Ho\, ho\, ho.”

Take a look at the options that suit you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPer the RBWG website\, here are some details to explain more and give dates/times.\n“FreeWrite is the name given to an informal gathering of writers of ALL skill levels who meet to practice their writing in a friendly and nurturing atmosphere. The goal of the FreeWrites is to provide a place and an opportunity for people to have fun with their writing\, to explore different genres\, and to do this in the company of other writing enthusiasts. Each FreeWrite is facilitated by a Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild member who has experience in teaching\, writing and/or leading such groups. Participants write prose\, songs\, poetry and fiction\, work on novels during free writes\, and start short stories. Writing prompts are often (but not always) designed to focus on a particular aspect of writing: the use of sensory details\, the necessity of strong verbs\, the craft of writing dialogue.”\n\n\nI take myself by surprise. Writing at a FreeWrite! is like throwing a surprise party for yourself.  You never know what is going to spill out on your computer screen.  Is an evil twin lurking in the machinery? Or is it my fingers that somehow acquire access to long forgotten memories\, buried dreams and nightmares? No matter how many times I ask myself\, Where did that come from\,  No matter how many times I think I should have run out of surprises by now–something unexpected jumps out from where it’s been lurking behind a load of unpacked boxes in the basement of my mind.  I didn’t know I knew that\, I think.”\n​—Sarah Barnett \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMORE LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE\nTraditional FreeWrites \n(visit the website for updates: FreeWrites)–and please note holiday dates when classes will not be held\nMondays \n8-10 a.m.\nRehoboth Beach Library (please use the back door).Carl Frey\, Joanne Sinsheimer\, and Tom Hoyer will alternate leading.

SUMMARY:"A Christmas Carol" featuring Gerald Dickens\, in person
DESCRIPTION:The Lewes Public Library Spoken Word Society and Sussex County Department of Libraries present A Christmas Carol\, performed by Gerald Dickens. \nGerald Dickens’ performance of A Christmas Carol has received standing ovations all over the world. Using his own adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale\, Gerald Dickens plays over 30 characters using vocal and physical talents to bring each scene vividly to life. \nGerald Dickens is an actor\, director\, and producer\, and the great-great-grandson of the author Charles Dickens. In 1993 he created his first one-man show\, a theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol inspired by Charles Dickens’ own energetic readings of the 1860s. A fascination with the life and works of Charles led him to write and direct further one-man shows including Mr. Dickens is Coming!\, Nicholas Nickleby and Sketches by Boz.Dickens regularly performs in major theatres and arts centres\, arts and literary festivals in the UK\, as well as at hotels\, stately homes\, and on cruise ships. \nNOTE: this event is in the Cape Henlopen High School Theatre (1250 Kings Highway\, Lewes\, DE). Registration is required. \n\nThe Lewes Spoken Word Society (LSWS) celebrates the tradition and artistry of oral storytelling through lectures\, performances\, discussions\, demonstrations\, and other publicly-shared experiences. The LSWS is partially funded by the generous support of Becker Morgan Group\, Browseabout Books\, Cape Gazette\, GFWC Zwaanendael Women’s Club\, John and Sally Freeman Foundation\, Sussex County Department of Libraries\, and M & T Charitable Foundation. \nThank you to Byers’ Choice Ltd. for bringing Gerald Dickens to the United States.
