A Wisconsin Christmas tradition returns as Jim Miller brings his solo performance of Dylan Thomas' beloved holiday story A Child's Christmas in Wales to the Menomonie Public Library. The theatre professor and actor performed his 30 minute solo rendition of the short story locally from 1990 until 2015, and for many in the area attending the annual recitation of Thomas’ classic memoir became an essential part of their own seasonal celebration. With only a few props and simple set pieces, Miller gives voice to the author’s recollection of a 1920's boyhood spent in Swansea, Wales. Poignant but never grossly sentimental, seasonal yet secular, A Child's Christmas in Wales is an ideal Christmas event for all ages, and as always there is every possibility that candy may be thrown from the stage.
