A Child's Christmas in Wales

the Christmas classic by Dylan Thomas

In 1952, the poet Dylan Thomas wrote and recorded a short collection of memories from his childhood in Wales. Our production begins in the recording studio as Thomas starts to recall the sounds and smells of a long-ago Christmas in the seaside town of his youth, a time of cats and uncles, fires and snow, presents useful and otherwise...

The heartwarming holiday classic, read and performed by Christopher Reynolds, with a new song performed by Tamara Dearing.

A family-friendly short story for all ages!

Seeing Red

Paint your palette blue and gray...

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream...

What happens when you travel the world only to see what you've missed? After a lifetime of wandering, artist Emile Bernard is planning one last trip. As he prepares, he recalls his friendship with Vincent van Gogh, he looks down the roads not taken...and he finally hears what Vincent was trying to say...

Jim Stark stars in this story of art, faith and hope written by Riverrun Theatre's artist-in-residence David J. Loehr and directed by Wanda McGuire. Join us for this midwestern premiere, the start of our sixth season of live theatre in Madison!

Attention must be paid...

Attention deficits, atmospheric disturbances, artistic differences and more in this one-woman show that runs the gamut from A to D and beyond.
