A Christmas Carol Readers Theater

Come kick off the holiday season with a Virtual Reading of A Christmas Carol! We will perform live from the comfort of our own homes. We will be having two performances; a junior show for ages 8-18 (still in high school) and an adult show for ages 18-102. We will be assigning adults to the children’s parts for the adult show. Participants are welcome to dress up for their part to get into the spirit of it! The participants will meet together on Zoom and we will stream it for non-participants to watch (streaming information will be announced at a later date). It will be a fun evening for the whole family!
