Join us this Saturday for the premiere of music from a new holiday classic - The Christmas Spider, presented in collaboration with AMANDA + JAMES and their PlayTime series, devoted to readings of new works of theater by up-and-coming young artists. Featuring interviews with composer Clint Borzoni and librettist John de los Santos, hosted by James Danner.
Inspired by a Ukrainian folktale, The Christmas Spider is a nostalgic holiday tale for all ages about a gentle arachnid and a miraculous turn of good fortune for a struggling family.
