Actor Rod Harrison’s recent role in the New Mexico Actors Lab’s production of The Nether required a lot of shifting in his seat and appearing defensive.

In his next project, he’ll look a lot more comfortable.

Like many artists in Santa Fe, Harrison has more than one creative outlet. Harrison and multi-instrumentalist Ross Hamlin, a guitar teacher and former Santa Fe University of Art and Design professor, perform as a duo called LALIAS and will take the stage Thursday, December 14 at San Miguel Chapel.

The duo’s show, A Very LALIAS Christmas ,is their second timed with the holiday. They describe their music as atmospheric soundscapes with storytelling/incantation. The stories include pieces of Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales and Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, as well as writings by Jeff Resta and Melody Sumner Carnahan. — Brian Sandford
