Mayor Marchand to Appear in 'A Christmas Carol'

Information provided by Saint Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church—

St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church is pleased to announce that Livermore Mayor John Marchand and his wife, Sue, will play Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig in the group’s production of A Christmas Carol. Scenes from the beloved holiday story will intersperse a weekend enlived by musical entertainment and Victorian flair. The Faire will take place November 30 from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday, December 1 from 12 noon to 5 pm at 678 Enos Way in Livermore.  

The Fezziwig’s festivities will also feature Erik Hoffman, fiddler and dance caller. Other performances throughout the weekend include classical harpist Dominique Piana, who will perform during Saturday’s High Tea; Vita Voci, a local madrigal vocal ensemble; and brass and recorder ensembles.  

Between scenes visitors may browse craft booths, sit down to a ploughman’s lunch, or enjoy ale at Miss Mattie’s Pub. Father Christmas will be on hand to visit with children of all ages, and additional children’s activities will be available. Visitors may also enter a raffle to win handmade quilts and other prizes. Proceeds benefit the community programs of St. Bartholomew’s.  

Admission is $10 per person, good for both days, with children 5 and younger free. The faire concludes at 4 pm each day with a limited-seating High Tea, for $15 per person. Advance tickets are recommended, and may be purchased through www.saintbartslivermore.com until November 29; faire tickets and tea reservations will be available at the door otherwise.
