WALES & TALES is returning to The Theater Project for its annual holiday visit on Monday, December 22 at 7 p.m. Al Miller and his merry band of holiday celebrants will offer an entertaining potpourri of stories and even a song or two.

With a reverent nod to the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, Miller will relive Thomas’ lyrical holiday memory “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” This sensitive, funny and poetic piece has become an essential companion to the holidays for thousands of people, including many in midcoast Maine who return year after year to enjoy Miller’s version.

In addition to “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” Miller will bring back a southern version of a traditional Christmas favorite…IF he survives his also popular re-telling of “The Mitten,” a winter tale in which a lost mittenbecomesaB&Bfor a gaggle of shivering animals, large and small.

WALES AND TALES is onstage Monday, December 22 at 7 p. m. Tickets are available online anytime at theaterproject.com, or by calling the box office at 729- 8584. The Theater Project is located at 14 School Street, Brunswick.

Also at The Theater Project, on Wednesday, December 24th at 11 a.m., Phyllis Fuchs and Al Miller will offer their annual holiday storytelling for families.

Phyllis Fuchs is the former children’s librarian in Brunswick and she and Miller have been telling holiday stories for more years than they can or choose to remember. The program is especially appropriate for small children, parents and grandparents. Admission is free and audience members are encouraged to bring a donation for Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program.
