A CHRISTMAS MEMORY by TRUMAN CAPOTE

VPT’s first in-person offering - we are thrilled to have been given permission by the Truman Capote Literary Trust to present this holiday classic performed by well known favorite- Dan Butler of NBC’s Frasier fame, and directed by Dina Janis. This piece will be performed at venues around the state as a benefit for Vermont Flood Relief through Vermont Community Foundation and Vermont Foodbank.

Vermont Public Theater and Vermont Public Present:

A Reading of A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote
Performed by Dan Butler
Directed by Dina Janis

A Christmas Memory is Truman Capote’s story about his Alabama childhood with an eccentric elderly cousin, first published in 1956.

Seven-year-old Buddy knows that the Christmas season has arrived when his cousin, Miss Sook Falk exclaims: "It's fruitcake weather!" Thus begins an unforgettable portrait of an odd, but enduring, friendship between two innocent souls—one young and one old—and the memories they share of beloved holiday rituals.

This holiday classic will be performed by actor Dan Butler of NBC’s Frasier.

Tickets are free but must be reserved. We also encourage you to make a donation to the Vermont Community Foundation to support their flood relief efforts.

Presented with permission from the Truman Capote Literary Trust .
