Truman Capote's A CHRISTMAS MEMORY is a largely autobiographical story, which takes place in the 1930s. In the story, Capote describes a period in the lives of the seven-year-old narrator and an elderly woman who is his distant cousin and best friend. 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. Come early for Christmas Caroling before each show. The music starts at 6 PM (1 PM on Sundays)
