John Cain is returning to the Center for Visual and Performing Arts Tuesday, November 15th, for his 29th Annual Holiday Reading. This year's reading will feature a history of Christmas at the White House.
From Jackie Kennedy selecting the first theme for a White House Christmas tree in 1961 to Michelle Obama’s tapping of controversial Barney's designer Simon Doonan to oversee the tree in 2009, the White House holiday décor has always been a thing of interest. Where Mrs. Kennedy’s tree featured ornaments made by disabled or senior citizen craftspeople from throughout the U.S., Doonan’s choices were less traditional, unleashing a maelstrom of criticism from the Right.
Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine in the gallery beginning at 11am.
Lunch begins at Noon with the reading to follow.
