A staged reading of Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory*
Directed by JoAnne Winter

Monday, December 15, 2008

PERFORMANCE ADDED!: ADDED PERFORMANCE AT 915 PM ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 15
700 PM PERFORMANCE IS SOLD OUT!

Theatre Rhinoceros, 2926 16th Street (at South Van Ness, BART), San Francisco, CA 94103

Because the 7 PM show is completely sold out we are adding a second performance at 915 PM on Monday, December 15th. A reception will be held for both audiences in between the performances at approximately 815 PM.

In Truman Capote’s largely autobiographical story of seven-year-old Buddy and his much older cousin Sook, a trip to find fruitcake ingredients becomes a memorable adventure, told through the eyes of Capote’s seven-year-old self. A holiday offering for all ages!
THEATER RHINOCEROS (John Fisher, Executive Director), America’s longest running professional queer theatre, develops and produces works of theatre that enlighten, enrich, and explore both the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of our queer community.
