 Old Pasadena once again welcomes Jackalope Indie Artisan 
Fair, featuring 200+ selected artisans selling beautiful 
handmade, specialty goods. Shoppers can expect to find 
trendsetting indie goods that include fashion and jewelry 
design, ceramics and paper goods, innovative home decor 
and housewares, art and photography, and much more. 

 The event also brings the local community a taste of DIY, 
with crafting workshops available throughout the weekend. 
Artisans will be hosting creative workshops, allowing 
attendees to take a dip into the DIY crafting world and get a 
better idea of the craftsmanship that goes into the one-of-a-
kind handmade goods and products found at the fair. 

 Multiple artisan-hosted workshops will allow attendees 
to get a better idea of the craftsmanship that goes into the 
one-of-a-kind handmade goods and products found at the 
fair. Some require advance registration; visit the website for 
more information. 

 This fall, Jackalope Arts will be partnering with Brighter 
Future Charity (BFC) and accepting donations to promote 
its programs and services. BFC began in 2013 after noticing 
a lack of inclusive support programs for families affected 
by autism. BFC students will be showcasing some of their 
jewelry during the fair; BFC will also host an event mural 
at which attendees can leave their mark and show support.

 A Noise Within (ANW), the 
acclaimed classical repertory 
theatre company, continues 
the cherished holiday tradition 
of presenting its well-loved 
production of Charles Dickens’ 
A Christmas Carol this year, 
onstage for the seventh holiday 
season. This time-honored 
tale of forgiveness plays 17 
performances only, Saturday, 
December 1 through Sunday, 
December 23, 2018. After the 
show, audience members are 
invited to enjoy a cup of cider 
and take photos with the cast.

 This season, ANW is 
expanding the opportunities 
for members of the community 
to enjoy classical theatre by 
offering a Relaxed Performance 
of A Christmas Carol on 
Saturday, December 8 at 11am. 
Relaxed Performances provide 
an inviting environment for 
those living with Autism 
Spectrum Disorder (ASD), 
Developmental Delay, 
Neuromuscular Disorder, 
Sensory Integrative 
Dysfunction, Attention Deficit 
Disorder and Disorders 
of Social Interaction and 
Communication. And all the 
production quality audiences 
expect from A Noise Within 
is still in place, with light 
and sound levels adjusted 
to create a sensory-friendly 
environment for all attending. 
A Noise Within is partnering 
with Ivor Weiner, Professor of 
Special Education at California 
State University Northridge, to 
ensure best practices for our 
Relaxed Performances.

 Co-Producing Artistic Director 
Geoff Elliott, who adapted the 
play from the novella, will co-
direct with Julia Rodriguez-
Elliott this masterpiece 
about the redemptive and 
transformative power of love. 
In this production, hailed as 
“enchantment” by LA Weekly, 
Dickens’ poignant tale is 
matched by evocative original 
music by composer Ego Plum.

 “We thought that this would be 
the best play for us to introduce 
our Relaxed Performances 
to our public, welcoming 
new audience members and 
their families into our live 
performance experience. 
Annually remounting our 
acclaimed presentation of 
Charles Dickens’ A Christmas 
Carol allows families to 
once again take a supremely 
theatrical journey and 
celebrate the transformative 
power of forgiveness during 
the holidays,” says Elliott. 
Julia Rodriguez-Elliott adds, 
“Ebenezer Scrooge’s rebirth 
from miserly curmudgeon 
to the epitome of love and 
generosity affirms our faith 
in the potent goodness of 
humanity during this beloved 
time of year.”
