Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story (Dramatic Reading)
This fanciful children's story was one of the 1925 Newbery Honor books (published in 1924). Moore's novel blends an interesting tour of an early-twentieth-century New York City with U.S. history and magical dream-like scenarios that children will love. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins Cast List Narrator: LCaulkins Nicholas: Waffle Ann Caraway: Jenn Broda John Moon: Aaron Sproule Brownie: Little Peanut Troll and Merry Man 3: Scott Caulkins Lucky and Elephant 2: Cheryl Hedrick Madison Square Fairy and Fiora Vero: Meredith Trinity Bishop, Baron Munchhausen, Elephant 1, Mr. Vero, and Traffic Policeman: Jim Hedrick Joe Star: David Purdy St. Nicholas, Beef Eater 1, Telescope Man, and Tower Guard: Larry Wilson Washington Irving, Peter Stuyvesant, Postman, and Daniel Lyons: Greg Giordano 1st Library Lion: Kevin S 2nd Library Lion, Knickerbocker Rooster, and Miss Vero: llamaart Colonel Flanagan and Mysterious Taxi Driver: Andrew Gaunce Aladdin and Lt.
