Purple Rose Concert Reading Saturday, Dec. 1 | 10:30am–1pm
McKune Room | Registration Required Join us for a reading of playwright David MacGregor’s new comedy: Scrooge Macbeth; or, A Shakespearean Christmas. Bob, Sylvia, Victor, and Renee are the last four actors standing when a food poisoning outbreak sidelines most of the cast on the opening night of their community theatre’s holiday production. But that’s not the only setback: Sylvia has just discovered a boatload of red ink in the theatre group’s ledger. With impending financial ruin, a shortage of cast members, and an expectant audience just outside the doors, can these four amateur thespians concoct some holiday entertainment in time to save their theatre?

Public libraries are a gift. Support your public library. Libraries put dollars back into the community by helping small businesses and local organizations, getting people back to work, and providing vital resources for everyone in good times and in bad. Libraries are a sound investment. What they do has a direct—and positive— effect on individuals, and on the well-being of the surrounding community. Make sure libraries have the funding they need to help individuals and communities thrive. Find out how you can help improve public library funding in your community. Your voice matters.
