Valley Shakespeare Festival invites you to our first-holiday gala at the Twisted Vine, Derby’s historic haunted bank—a venue steeped in both charm and intrigue. Join us for an unforgettable evening of festive elegance and spine-tingling history as we raise funds to support our nonprofit theater company. Your evening will include:

🎄 A Prix Fixe Dinner: Enjoy a decadent, chef-curated holiday menu, and cash bar in the atmospheric halls of this beautifully eerie bank.

👻 A Christmas Carol: Witness a mesmerizing one-man performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, staged in a venue that’s as ghostly as the story itself.

✨ Fundraising with a Purpose: All proceeds will support the Valley Shakespeare Festival’s mission of bringing quality theater to our community.

Community Performances
DECEMBER 14 at 1 PM & 6PM

TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SEYMOUR

Experience the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the spirits of Christmas past, present, and future brought to life by one-actor. Get into the holiday spirit with this heartwarming production that is perfect for the whole family. Don't miss out on this special event that will leave you feeling merry and bright! Tickets for this event run on what we call a Sliding Scale: As “Thank You” to our wonderful patrons, and in the spirit of wanting EVERYONE to be able to partake in theater, Valley Shakespeare Festival has adopted the “Sliding Ticket Price” model.
