Event Details

charles_dickens-a_christmas_carol-title_page-first_edition_1843.jpg

In 1843, Charles Dickens self-published “a ghost story of Christmas” and the first edition sold out by Christmas Eve. For years afterward, Dickens read a condensed version of his story more than 100 times to audiences in Europe and America.

Local actors Lois Evans, Eric Lund, and Mark Hildebrand bring Dickens’ classic prose and characters to life with a dramatic reading of A Christmas Carol! This story of transformation and magic appeals to all ages. Runtime is approximately 65 minutes.

Donations are accepted.

Light refreshments will be offered!

Free!

December 17 & 18 at 6:00 p.m. (Doors & exhibit open at 5:00 p.m.)

In the parlor of the Historic Woodlawn House (Directions)
