A CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS is a highly original and humorous take on A Christmas Carol that follows a young Charles Dickens, unable to find much joy in life, struggling to write the Christmas story that will become the most famous holiday tale of all time. With the intervention of a magical muse, the elements of his famous A Christmas Carol begin to take shape. Dickens learns the true meaning of Christmas and finds in his past the inspiration for his immortal holiday classic. A Charles Dickens Christmas' rich musical score is sure to put the holiday cheer into every member of the audience.
We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the River Bend Bookshop! Throughout this production, River Bend will have a holiday pop-up shop in our lobby, filled with festive gifts and books. 20% of all proceeds will go to the Playhouse.
