Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory

Truman Capote’s story, A Christmas Memory, will be presented as a one-man show by actor and theologian E.R. Haire, Jr. at The Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness. Performances will be held in the Wilderness Room at the following times:

  • Friday, December 17 at 7pm

  • Saturday, December 18 at 2pm and 7pm

  • Sunday, December 19 at 2pm

The show is free to the public, but attendance is limited to 35 people per performance and RSVP is required. Face masks covering nose and mouth and physical distancing are required.  Temperatures will be taken at the door.

​

A Christmas Memory  takes place during the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Until he was ten years old, Truman Capote lived with elderly relatives in a small town in rural Alabama. The story is a frankly autobiographical account of those years, especially of his relationship with one of the elderly cousins, Miss Sook Faulk.
