New Year’s Day Potluck Dinner & Staged Reading

Saturday January 1, 2022

6:30-8:30p (Potluck dinner cancelled)

We’ll be reading: FOR THE TIME BEING, A Christmas Oratorio

by W.H. Auden, directed by Hallie Frazer

“. . . To those who have seen 

The Child, however, dimly, however incredulously

The Time Being is, in a sense, the most trying time of all.

For the innocent children who whispered so excitedly

Outside the locked door where they knew the presents to be

Grew up when it opened. Now, recollecting that moment 

We can repress the joy, but the guilt remains conscious;

Remembering the stable where for once in our lives

Everything became a You and nothing was an It.”

Potluck dinner is cancelled—just the reading this year.
