Former CFL player and long-time coach Joe Paopao is teaming up with the Centre Wellington community to present a dramatic reading of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
The evening will feature Steph Toohill, from Santé, and food bank manager Fred Aleksandrowicz, and music of the Bethany Mens’ Chorus directed by Andy Stimpson, of Elora. The reading of A Christmas Carol will take place at Bethany United Church on Dec. 3, at 7pm.
The story will be told using CBC Radio’s transcribed version of Dickens’ original script, fused with the sounds of the Men’s Chorus. All across Canada, readers, inspired musicians, choir members, and people who believe in the common good come together to present the story to help their community. In the spirit of Dickens, all profits will be donated to the Centre Wellington Food Bank.
In a time when the need for food bank resources has spiked dramatically, citizens of Centre Wellington are encouraged to remember the spirit of Jacob Marley and make “mankind its business” by attending .
Tickets are $15 each and are available at Santé and Little KaTy Variety, in Elora, or at 519-846-0122. Bethany United Church is 7km south of Elora at 4th Line East and Sideroad 10.
