Mr. Fezziwig's Ball |
Organized by Lucy Proctor-Ringland Join Mr. And Mrs. Fezziwig as they present their annual holiday ball, straight out of the pages of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, at The Reality Center in Durham, NC. Step onto the dance floor for an evening of Regency dancing to live music by Syllabub (Mara Shea, Julie Gorka, andWalt Robinson). If you don't know the dances, help will be provided - they are fun to learn! You can even try your hand at whist, forfeits, and other historic games! Sample a generous sideboard and meet characters from the novel as you join in an evening of holiday merriment! Period attire is admired, but not required. We request formal dress for those not choosing to don period costume. |
