“Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott
“Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents.”
And so begins one of the most beloved classics of American literature — a story that has warmed generations of readers since it was first published in 1868.With the men off fighting the Civil War, Marmee and sisters Jo, Beth, Amy and Meg are left to fend for themselves. They learn how to grapple with poverty, sickness and death as they each discover and embrace their destinies. Bring your family to the Dairy this holiday season and spend some time with the March family. Relive their adventures, their passionate loves, their ups and downs and their joy in being together.
“The White Chip” by Sean Daniels
Straight from its critically acclaimed run off-Broadway, The White Chip is the true story of one man’s journey from alcoholism to recovery in a play The New York Times described as “laugh-out-loud funny and gasp-inducing, self-inflicted tragedy.”Playwright Sean Daniels’ autobiographical tale is a familiar one, packed with details that every addict will recognize. The endless deals one makes with oneself to stop drinking next week. Hiding vodka in Coke bottles. And using the charisma and charm of a functional drunk to persuade others (and himself) that he is fine.
