Holiday Potluck Supper
Entertainment: Chanticleer the Rooster, a family friendly Canterbury Tale
Gift Exchange and More!
ENTERTAINMENT: Chanticleer the Rooster
Magical Moonshine’s newest addition to the Canterbury Collection is Chaucer’s Canterbury tale about a rooster who is caught by the flattering fox…but foxes can be fooled as well. Assisting the beloved Chanticleer is a wise ant, as well as the pig, sheep, goat, dog, hen and farmer. Medieval costumes and live, ancient music (including a version of “Old MacDonald Had A Farm” from 1710!) make for a delightful and interactive family program. This production is inspired by the Kelmscott Chaucer from the McCune Art and Rare Book Collection, who are sponsors of the project.
POTLUCK SUPPER
Please bring your favorite dish to share with others. Appetizers for the Social and Main courses are always appreciated. Microwave available. Dinnerware will be provided.

The tables at Bay Area Stage may be little cabaret style tables…we are not sure yet. More info on this will follow. Individuals and companies are invited to adopt and decorate a table. Any and all holidays are recognized!!! Questions about decorations? Contact Valerie Nelson at mail@magicalmoonshine.org. Also, holiday decorations for the room will be greatly appreciated.
