Christmas with Charles Dickens

Enjoy a two-person sampling that includes selections from "A Christmas Carol" and other seasonal favorites by Charles Dickens.

Largely Literary Theater Company co-founders Sara Showman and Mark Dawidziak draw on the Dickens Christmas stories, his thoughts about the season and some Dickensian Christmas history for this one-act show that reflect the writer's belief that, "There seems a magic in the very name of Christmas."
