A Child's Christmas in Wales is a piece by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas  It's a collection of Welsh Christmas memories from the viewpoint of a young boy. It is one of Thomas's most popular works and is loads of fun. Read by some of your favorite actors: Brigid Cleary, Edward Gero, Nancy Robinette, Michael Willis, and Harry Winter, with Ella Gatlin and Becker Spear. Followed by the perennial favorite: A Visit From St. Nicholas by Clement Moore.  One night only! See you there!
