Marin City Library Presents Holiday Storytelling Dec. 7

Storyteller Phil Sheridan

Friends of Marin City Library is hosting a holiday storyteller Phil Sheridan, who will present “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” Tuesday, Dec. 7, 7 p.m., at the library, 164 Donahue St. in Marin City. “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” by Dylan Thomas, is about the Christmases the poet enjoyed as a boy in his hometown of Swansea, Wales on the west coast of England. It is a joyful tale, and beautiful to hear when read aloud. Sheridan has turned the poem into a play for 10 parts and invites adult members of the audience to join him in telling it aloud. He also invites volunteers to read with him one of Dylan Thomas’ most famous poems, “Fern Hill,” as well as an all-time holiday favorite, “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Sheridan is a professional actor and storyteller who tells stories in schools, libraries and at birthday parties.  His specializes in tales about courage, kindness, compassion and respect. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served.  For information contact the Marin City Library at (415) 332-6157.
