A Christmas Carol at The Legacy Theatre

This classic tale by Charles Dickens, whose forward in the novel states, “I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. - C. D.” is a timeless story that indeed has pleasantly haunted generations of audiences around the globe. Adapted and directed by Keely Baisden Knudsen with an original score by Keely Baisden Knudsen and David Bell, this story illuminates the journey of one Ebenezer Scrooge and his guided self-reflection amidst the Christmas season in 1800s England.

Holiday Buoy Tree Lighting - Milford

The MAC, Milford Arts Council is super excited to announce the return of last year's favorite NEW holiday tradition, MAC’s Buoy Tree at Lisman Landing in Milford, CT! The MAC’s Buoy Tree is an outreach to the greater Milford community to come together and create a unique experience for the holiday season. Volunteers build a 20-30’ tree form from genuine used lobster traps (some complete with seaweed, weights and line!) It is then wrapped in sparkly white lights and overlaid with boat line knotted with hand-painted and decorated buoys created by local artists, families and businesses. At the tree lighting, Santa arrives by boat greeted by Mayor Ben Blake, who lights the tree, followed with entertainment by sea shanty singers. The perfect night to gather together and take that perfect family picture or selfie!
