CHRISTMAS WEEK at The Dickens Project!

We roll into our final week of this year's Dickens celebration with stories both familiar, and less so . . .

 Sunday, December 22nd

• Noon - Other Works of Dickens: Selections from Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy 

Freda Frostbite graces THE DICKENS PROJECT stage with selections from "Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy".  It was among several collaborative works published in ALL THE YEAR ROUND, a Victorian weekly literary periodical founded and owned by Charles Dickens. "Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy" appeared in the Extra Christmas Number (1 December 1864[13]) and was a collaboration with Charles Allston Collins, Rosa Mulholland, Henry Spicer, Amelia Edwards, & Hesba Stretton.

 Presented live in voice. 

 Monday, December 23rd, &Tuesday, December 24th

• 4pm Both Days - A Christmas Carol in Two Parts
  

"'It's Christmas Day!' said Scrooge to himself. 'I haven't missed it. The Spirits have done it all in one night. They can do anything they like. Of course they can. Of course they can. Hallo..."

So, you missed hearing the timeless words of Charles Dickens' story of transformation and redemption during "By-the-Stave" week?  No worries!  Caledonia Skytower shares her personal holiday tradition of performing the entire text, unedited, in the days immediately before Christmas.  Presented in two approximately 90 minute parts (because Cale's voice won't last for 3+ hours)

 

All sessions are presented Live, in Voice.  All times are SLT.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
It is will sincere apologies that we announce that the planned "Walk Through" Sections of this year's  Dickens Project will not all be opening as planned.  The sections were all begun, but RL circumstances and internet challenges (plus prims) have conspired against completing these areas to our standards, and realizing this goal has ceased to be realistic.

We are pleased to announce that we will be opening the "Christmas Past" area today (12-19) and it will be available for exploration through the balance of this year's Project.  We hope to schedule an impromptu reading of Stave Two with guests invited to explore while the reading is in progress to experience the "Greater Vision" of The Dickens Project.

Look for the teleport station near the "Christmas Past" Illustration slide show.

Thank you all for your support, and a Happy Holidays!

THIS WEEK at The Dickens Project . . . more, more, more!

All sessions are presented Live, in Voice.  All times are SLT.

THE DICKENS PROJECT IS BACK! ~ December 13th through 26th

It was just a year ago that we tried out something new in celebration of the the Dickens Bicentennial of his birth.  We thought "there are celebrations all over the real world, why not in the virtual world as well?"  That was how The Dickens Project iSL was born. 

After two weeks, thousands of visitors and nearly thirty hours of live voice programming from the author's works, we decided it was too good an idea for just one year.  So we are trying it again!  Thanks to the generosity of Thinkerer Melville, this year's Dickens Project has found a home on Cookie, and will feature the next steps in the "big dream" of a totally immersive environment for the enjoyment of live readings from the vast Dickens canon of works.
