The Adelphi Performing Arts Center will hold two holiday events this month, the student-directed “Holiday Showcase” and the annual staged reading of Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol.” Both events are free and open to the public.
The “Holiday Showcase” features students from across campus performing holiday classics and more, with music ranging from Israeli folk songs to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” The “Holiday Showcase” will take place on Friday, Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. on the Westermann Stage Concert Hall in the Adelphi PAC.
Every holiday season, Adelphi University’s Department of Theatre brings Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” to the stage as a dramatic reading. The production is directed by Professor Brian Rose, and roles are performed by faculty and student actors.
The reading will take place on Saturday, Dec. 16 at 2 p.m. in the Olmsted Theatre in the Adelphi PAC. There’s no charge but audience members are invited to bring a can or box of non-perishable food as a donation for the Mary Brennan Inn food kitchen in Hempstead.
