St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Yardley will present Thornton Wilder’s one-act play, “The Long Christmas Dinner,” at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 11.
Wilder breaks the boundaries of time and invites viewers to join the Bayard family during one long Christmas dinner as generations of their family appear and depart.
In just 35 minutes, “The Long Christmas Dinner” represents the lived experiences of nine decades. The show includes a cast of professional actors of stage and screen alongside talented parishioners, under the direction of Gary Sloan.
During the pandemic, the St. Andrew’s Players presented “Darkness Into Light” in collaboration with Congregation Kol Emet and the Zubaida Foundation Masjid, as well as a pioneering livestream of Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” featuring Stacy Keach and Patrick Page.
Admission to “The Long Christmas Dinner” is free but reservations are requested at yardleychristmasdinner.eventbrite.com. Performances will be held in the church at 54 W. Afton Ave., Yardley. Seating is general admission, and masks are required for the actors’ safety.
