Seasons Readings

For adults during the Holiday Stroll, the Library is proud to present Seasons Readings, an irreverent and irresistible collection of short plays and stories that shine a holiday light on human nature at its best... and at its worst. Professional actors from JIB Productions, Inc. will share selections from the likes of William Lederer, Grace Paley, Garrison Keillor and Matt Hoverman.  

 

Admission is free, but please bring a donation to the Ridgefield Food Pantry. Donations of non-perishable food as well as personal care and household products will be collected at the door. Space is limited - first come, first served. 

Your financial contribution helps the Library continue as a community leader providing outstanding opportunities for all.  Your gift to our Annual Appeal helps to make possible culture, programs and creativity; technology; collections; and your Library team - all the things you value about the Ridgefield Library.

Your involvement makes a difference...give now, give generously.
