The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue has added a new, one-weekend production to its 2016-2017 season. “Joy to the World,” a program of holiday stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, Isaac Bashevis Singer, O. Henry, and other noted writers, will be read by members of the company tomorrow at 7 p.m., Saturday at 8, and Sunday afternoon at 2:30.

Among the stories are Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle,” Singer’s “Zlateh the Goat,” and, from The New York Sun of 1897, “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus.”

The company veterans Matthew Conlon, James Ewing, Terrance Fiore, Amanda Griemsmann, Sarah Hunnewell, Diana Marbury, Joe Pallister, Ben Schnickel, and Tristan Vaughan will read, and Sarah Hunnewell and James Ewing will direct.
