Special Guest Patch Linden joins Seanchai Library's Caledonia Skytower on young David Copperfield's journey from misery and indentured work in London, to the arms of his Aunt Betsey Trotwood in Dover, in an adaptation from the novel that many thought was the most auto-biographical of Dickens' work. Live in Dickens Square, on stream.

The Opera House - Dickens Harbour

Director Blaze DeVivre invites you to "The Midnight Dinner", an exciting evening of storytelling using the medium of dance, presented in the spectacular Opera House above Dickens Harbor. You will see performances from Dax Dover, Divine Quandry, Meegan Danitz, Lynxa Wilde and Blaze's bevy of multi-talented maids in stories themed around passion and adventure with more than a little nineteenth century flair.

Seating begins at 7pm - Come early and be kind to your cache. Seating is limited and you don't want to miss this marvelous production.

THIS WEEKEND at The Dickens Project

Our first full weekend of events starts out with Idle Rogue Productions opening performance of a show they have created specifically for The Dickens Project.

Friday, December 6th at 10pm slt:
Idle Rogue Productions presents THE MIDNIGHT DINNER. 

An outstanding concept in dance entertainment as story-telling, presenting beloved characters from Dickens and Victoriana. Please enjoy the experience of attending in costume at The Opera House, free clothing is available in the stores at ground level. 

There will be a direct teleport from the Dickens Square landing point. Or teleport directly to The Opera House sky box.  There's one other option, though, that is worth considering. Take the hot air balloon ride from the shores of the skating pond just north of The Square.  In 20 minutes you'll find yourself at the front door of the Opera House.

Seating begins at 9pm, and seats will fill fast for this show.

Saturday, December 7th at 11am slt:

The Community Virtual Library and VCARA present a Dickens Read-Aloud presentation in the Resource Center. There will be a direct teleport from the Dickens Square landing point. The members of VCARA present selections from Dickens' short story canon, live in voice.  Come learn about their work in Second Life!

Sunday, December 8th:

@ Noon - The Community Virtual Library hosts the ACRL Virtual World Interest Group Tour of the Resource Center in Voice.

@ 1:30pm - TEA TIME with Charles Dickens in Dickens Square.  Da5id Abbot, Dubhna Rhiadra, and Caledonia Skytower present a selection from David Copperfield.

@ 2:30pm - Grace McDunnough LIVE! in Dickens Square. Some say Grace McDunnough™ may have been the unlikely digital love child of Andy Warhol (without the soup) and Janis Joplin (without the drugs) - a hypnotic mix of subtle yet defiant artistic imagery blended with evocative, heart stopping musical highlights that permeates the veils of geography, culture and genre.  Learn more about Grace at https://grace.weebly.com/ and join us for a wonderful hour of music.
