Free Holiday Performance at Local Library

A performance group that creates presentations based on poems, stories, novels and plays across southeastern New England is returning to Little Compton next week for a free holiday show.

The nonprofit, Living Literature, will present it’s newest performance, “Owen Meany’s Christmas Pageant” at Brownell Public Library, 44 Commons on Wednesday, Dec. 10.

The presentation is an adaptation from the novel “A Prayer for Owen Meany” written by John Irving, according to the Brownell Public Library website.

The novel tells the story of two young boys who are involved in a nontraditional Christmas pageant in the fictional New Hampshire town of Gravesend during the 1950’s.

The performance kicks off at 6 p.m. and is about half an hour long.

The event is free for all ages and open to the public.
