GALVA, Illinois — Crossroads Cultural Connections, in partnership with Allenia Space and Crescent City Tap, is thrilled to present ‘A Quad Cities Christmas Carol,’ an original play by local playwright, Tom Akers, that re-imagines Charles Dickens’ timeless holiday tale with a regional flair. The performance will be Friday, Dec. 20, at Allenia Space (formerly The Swamp at Crescent City Tap), located at 330 Front St.
The evening will begin with a festive holiday buffet from 5:30-7 p.m., featuring seasonal favorites such as mulled wine glazed ham, turkey smothered in gravy, roasted red potatoes, baby carrots, green beans, deviled eggs, stuffed mushroom caps, the Ghost of Christmas Present pound cake, and plum pudding. Drinks will be available for purchase at Crescent City Tap.
The two-hour show will begin at 7 p.m. with an intermission. The cost for this magical evening is $25 for dinner and the show, or $10 for the show only.
Proceeds will benefit Crossroads Cultural Connections, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching Henry County and the surrounding area through live music, theater, and the arts.
Adding to the holiday spirit, musical entertainment for the evening will be provided by Patrick Sloan.
