tapestry.. https://writeoutloud.ticketspice.com/season-17 Performers for this holiday concert will

Write Out Loud Artistic Director, Veronica Murphy, shared “Everything in the world right now is
so chaotic, and personally it has been the most difficult year of my life. As we enter the Holiday
Season, it feels really important to share stories that reflect joy and hope for all of us. Giving
Season – our annual Holiday program, celebrates the importance of generosity. We welcome
the opportunity each year to stop amidst the bustle of the holidays to remember what an impact
giving to others can make. Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or just the New Year,
there will be a wonderful story for you. And we might just have a special holiday guest…..”
