The Poestenkill Light Reading Company brings its annual reading of Dickens’s beloved classic to the Sand Lake stage. With the original 1843 text and illustrations from some of the best-known editions, the story of an old miser’s chance for redemption tells a tale of the laughter, joys and cares of its time—and offers a message of hope for us today. Join us for a sharing of a good book by a (proverbial) winter’s fire.  

This year’s offering features Mike Noble, who has also appeared in local productions of A People’s History of the United States and Marcus Peck: Letters of a Civil War Soldier.

Suggested donation of $10 or non-perishable food items for local food pantries (such as Doors of Hope).

Get your tickets for the last-ever McKrells Christmas show at SLCA!

Joining Kevin McKrell, Brian Melick, Arlin Greene and Frank Orsini will be multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Green and gypsy jazz guitarist Chuck Kish of Hot Club of Saratoga.

"The McKrell–Melick interpretation of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' is an absolute classic," writes Greg Haymes of Nippertown. "It's the best Marx Brothers routine that the Marx Brothers never did, with Kevin McKrell playing a mix of wisecracking Groucho and straight man Zeppo, while the bug-eyed, puppy-dog-eager Brian Melick channels Harpo with amazing accuracy."

Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Throughout December, SLCA’s art gallery will be presenting the paintings of Carrie Williams in an exhibit called Diaphaneity: Ethereal Portals; Studies of Survival.

Come to Carrie’s artist reception to meet her and see her work!

From the streets of New York to the sets of Hollywood, father and son photographers Vincent and Phillip Caruso share stories from a lifetime behind the camera. This hometown exhibition and panel celebrate creativity, connection and the enduring power of photography—right here in Sand Lake.

This photography exhibition will feature a selection of images by father Phillip V. Caruso and son Vincent K. Caruso.

Hollywood Euphoria captures intimate, behind-the-scenes moments from iconic productions—many of which became the official images seen in movie posters and media campaigns.

Shadows captures fleeting moments of urban life in bold contrasts of light and shadow—each frame a self-contained story. Shot across New York City, it debuted at Forest Hall Studios in Milford, PA, and was featured in AirMail magazine, marking Vincent as a rising voice in contemporary street photography.

Hollywood Euphoria will be presented through January. Shadows will be presented through February. A preview will be displayed at the Jan. 23 event.

Jan. 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. (panel event)

Set on Chicago’s South Side, this celebrated play concerns the divergent dreams and conflicts in three generations of the Younger family. When her deceased husband’s insurance money comes through, Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood. Her son Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Her daughter Beneatha dreams of medical school. Hansberry’s portrait of one family’s struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.

Jan. 30 and 31, Feb. 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m.
