GENEVA â Brian Finnerty has a long affinity for nativity scenes. This year heâs taking that love to a new level.
Finnerty, along with some family and friends, is staging a live nativity scene from 5-8 p.m. Saturday outside his 2775 Carter Road home. Live animals, including a much ballyhooed camel, will be joining them.
Erecting a nativity scene has been a beloved Finnerty family Christmas tradition. Brian Finnerty, who owns Pedullaâs Wine and Liquor, recalled that the set his parents put up outside their Lafayette Avenue home when he was growing up actually came from Geneva on the Lake in its days as a monastery. The family would decorate the scene with lights and greens; one year, when a new roof was being put on the house, Finnerty arranged the creche in front of a covered Dumpster.
Arts events in Sarasota-Manatee: Dec. 10-16
A Dickens of a performance
Jim Floyd has a rare treat for himself and audiences this holiday season. He not only gets to return to performing after a long pandemic-forced break, but he’s playing all the characters in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” including the author himself. Floyd stars in the Players Centre for Performing Arts production of Greg Oliver Bodine’s one-man version of the classic story outdoors at the Bazaar at Apricot & Lime in Sarasota. He plays the author who has arrived for a reading from his novel about Ebenezer Scrooge and his experience one Christmas. But when Dickens’s luggage and his book don’t arrive, he ends up acting out the story for the audience, using whatever props and items of clothing he can to transform himself into ghosts, Bob Cratchit or Tiny Tim. It’s the first of three outdoor shows at the Bazaar planned by the Players Centre. “A Christmas Carol” runs through Dec. 20. Ticke
