This Reader’s The- ater play adaptation is by Seneschal Incavo and will include early 19th-century Christmas carols. The production stars readers Incavo, Dida DeAngelis and Mark Barsekian. They will be ac- companied by soprano Ann Bronson, alto Stacey Brown, tenor Patrick Corjay, Jenni- fer Crockett on clarinet and Nathan Crockett on violin. The show will take place in the theater’s upstairs McTavish Room. The Liber- ty Theater is located at 1203 Commercial St. Performance dates are 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 7, 8, 14 and 15. Tickets are $15 and are available through Tickets- West.com or at the Liberty Theater’s box office, open from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Wednes- day through Saturday.
