This “one man production” stars Nate Plummer as Charles Dickens and is based on the American Reading Tour that Dickens performed in the late 1800’s in which he portrayed all of the beloved characters from his holiday classic. Dickens – always a theatrical showman – traveled with his own scenery and lighting equipment throughout his tour. This production – presented over 150 years later – explores how Dickens might present the show using the theatre technology of today: LED Lighting, Projections, Sound Effects, and More. 

This production features strobe lights, fog, loud noises and is recommended for audiences 8 & up.
