"Old Befana"
A musical by Ken Lonnquist based on an ancient Yule tale, performed by actor-singers Ken Lonnquist, Joanne Schilling, Sharon Brady, Emily Whalley and Leila Fletcher. There will be TWO PERFORMANCES - a 2 pm matinee, and a 7 pm evening show. The story is about an old woman who hears that a special child will be born who’ll make the world a better place. More than 4,000 years old, the tale is celebrated during the Yule season in Europe. Befana didn’t know whether the special child was rich or poor, black or white, a boy or a girl.
