A one-man performance of Dickens's classic holiday tale. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Registration required.

Many Christmases ago, Charles Dickens would perform a one-man telling of his classic holiday tale, doing all the voices himself. Join us this holiday season as Bryan Johnson recreates that experience using Dickens’s original script.

Questions & Answers about this program: 

Q: I see that this says recommended for ages 8 and up. Do you mean it?

A: We mean our recommendation quite seriously. This is not a full-scale production of A Christmas Carol; think one-man show, not play. Our actor is fantastic, and we love this tradition, but our experience has been that sometimes, four-year-olds don't have the patience to make it through this performance.  

We are not asking ages at the door, but if you have children who struggle sitting still and listening, we'd suggest that you attend a different holiday program. 

Q: If registration fills up, can I come anyway?

A: Typically, not every single person who signs up for a ticket actually comes. We will have a standby line available for those who can't get tickets.
