Christmas 1860 at the Edmonton-Alston House at Middleton Place takes place on Friday, December 1 and December 8. Theatrical performers in traditional costume reenact the period in Charleston just before the Civil War. From the event website: “Adorned in period costumes, they reflect on the events of the day and how their lives would soon be forever changed.”

Beginning Friday, December 1, the Flowertown Players present A Christmas Story. Based on the beloved classic motion picture, the play follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker’s quest to own a genuine Red Ryder BB gun. Audiences will undoubtedly be delighted by the infamous leg lamp, bunny suit, and tongue-versus-frozen-lamppost debacle.
