About the show
Presented through special arrangement with Readers Theatre
Directed by: Deidre Cundiff Parmenter
Produced by: Paul Babb & Scott Quintard

A staged reading of Charles Dickens’s classic tale A Christmas Carol, adapted by Paul Babb. Presented with minimal staging and maximum heart, the performance brings Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey of redemption to life through vivid narration, engaging performances, and the shared imagination of the audience. The Readers Theatre style emphasizes storytelling at its purest — a reminder that the power of Dickens’s words continues to resonate across generations.
The performances and special pre-show event are made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors — Toto Cookies, D’lectable D’lights Custom Cakes & Cookies, and Beth Dressed. Their partnership helps ensure that A Christmas Carol remains an accessible and joyful experience for all ages, while adding an extra touch of holiday magic to this year’s performances.
