Seanchai Library is ready to celebrate.  The 2017 Edition of The Dickens Project has been an unprecedented success, and Closing Day Events on Saturday, December 30th will reflect that accomplishment.

To Date there have been 2900 visits to LEA 7 since the doors opened November 25th, and over 33% of them returned for multiple visits and events.  As the previous 10-14 days of Dickens expanded to 36 days, more people than ever were touched by The Dickens Project's vision of providing the opportunity to "walk in the steps of Ebenezer Scrooge."

There are no stories scheduled for Closing Day, but there have been over 25 hours of live stories including plenty of sessions of A Christmas Carol over the last five weeks.

There will be plenty of music, and what's more, The Dickens Project has featured a previously unprecedented 12 hours of music presentations plus five hours of large stage dance performances.

CLOSING DAY, Saturday, December 30th, celebrates these many successes, before The Dickens Project fades into "Past."

The Dickens Project on LEA 7, at least for one more day... all times slt

Josie is a breath of fresh air on the live music scene in SL.  Her sultry voice and sense of fun along with an electric mix of blues, rock, pop and romance will have you dancing one minute and sending tingles up your spine the next. Her energy is contagious and Josie's voice defines talent at it's best. One listen and you are hooked. An incredibly interactive, playful performer who's laugh is as infectious as her singing is music for the soul.

Come early to grab you seat (the one you sit IN, not the one you sit ON) and be kind to your cache.  NOTE: This is burlesque, so while the show is appropriate for a Moderate sim, it might not suit all tastes.
