Jeff Belanger at the Derry Opera House: The Fright Before Christmas

In Partnership with the Taylor Library, The Marion Gerrish Community Center, and the Greater Derry Arts Council. Sponsored in part by the Friends of the Derry Public Libraries.

Registration opens on September 16th

Doors Open at 6:30 PM

Based on years of research, Jeff’s New England Legends Creepy Christmas television special, and his forthcoming book of the same name, this program explores the many Yuletide monsters and legends that have almost been lost to the ages. Jeff explores the history of the holiday and the ghostly traditions that date back more than two thousand years. Krampus, the Belsnickel, Tomtens, and who can forget the most famous ghost story of all time: Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? Yule scream! “The Fright Before Christmas” will make you believe again! Jeff Belanger does not recommend this program for a young audience.
