Recorded by Dylan Thomas in 1952 and published in book form two years later, A Child’s Christmas in Wales endures as one of the Welsh poet’s most popular works in prose. It’s a wistful reminiscence of Christmas from the viewpoint of a young boy, capturing all aspects of the season.

In what is becoming a new holiday tradition, members of Kansas City’s Equity Actors' Readers' Theatre (EARTh) deliver a script-in-hand performance of Thomas’ enchanting account.

The event is co-presented by the Equity Actors' Readers' Theatre, which offers large-cast plays in a concert-style, staged reading format.
