With a reverent nod to the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, Miller will relive Thomas’ lyrical holiday memory “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” This sensitive, funny and poetic piece has become an essential companion to the holidays for thousands of people, including many in mid-coast Maine who return year after year to enjoy Miller’s version.

In addition to “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” Miller will bring back a southern version of a traditional Christmas favorite … if he survives his also popular re-telling of “The Mitten,” a winter tale in which a lost mitten becomes a bed and breakfast for a gaggle of shivering animals, large and small.

This year, Miller will be joined by dancers from Joanna Patterson’s teen class at Brunswick School of Dance, who will perform a contemporary modern dance number just right for the holiday season.

Tickets are “Pay What You Want” as always at TTP, with a suggested price of $10, and are available at theaterproject.com or by calling 207-729-8584. The Theater Project is at 14 School Street.

Also at The Theater Project, at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 24, Phyllis Fuchs and Al Miller will offer their annual holiday storytelling for families. Phyllis Fuchs is the former children’s librarian in Brunswick and she and Miller have been telling holiday stories for more years than they can or choose to remember. The program is especially appropriate for small children, parents and grandparents. Admission is free and audience members are encouraged to bring a donation for Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program.
