NIGHT LIGHTS: a Festival of Light and Shadows
Theresa Linnihan, Jill Reinier, Beverly Persad, Sharon Seitz and friends
At this time of year, as the days grow short and the nights grow long, people have gathered for thousands of years to share stories that celebrate the light and dispel the darkness within us. Featuring stories of the birth of the sun, the return of a lost hero, and the great gifts we might receive (if we know how to use them), this play marks the winter solstice and celebrates our common faith that the cold, dark winter will pass and a new spring will come again.
Come light the lights with us and watch the shadows dance away.
Doors open at 6:30 for crafts and refreshments.
