From BLACK SWAMP PLAYERS

The Black Swamp Players continues its activities even during the pandemic.

A little taste

On Saturday, Nov. 21, 7-9 p.m. BSP will host a whisky tasting at 115 E. Oak St. in Bowling Green. Featuring whisky ambassador Elliot MacFarlane, the tasting will showcase five whiskies from around the world, accompanied by light snacks.

Tickets are $50 and available at blackswampplayers.org. MacFarlane is well known for his knowledge of whisky provenance and lore; he’ll present the background of the featured spirits, as well as historical points of the art of distillation.

Distancing precautions will be taken. Attendees must be 21+ and masked to enter.

Livestreamed Christmas Carol

For the holiday season, the Players will present A Virtual Christmas Carol, livestreamed through a partnership with On The Stage. Dates are Dec. 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. An on-demand performance will be available online on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2:30 pm.

Rehearsals are under way, with each character playing their part from home. The story is a modern retelling of the classic Dickens story. Running time is about 45 minutes.

Tickets for the livestream performances will be available soon through BSP’s website and Facebook page.

Capital campaign ongoing

The Black Swamp Players continue their capital campaign to finalize the purchase of the building at Oak St. After a summer of fund-raising during social distancing, almost half the monies have been raised.
