John Kevin Jones stars in the solo show.
Summoners Ensemble Theatre's A Christmas Carol will return to the Merchant's House for the fourth consecutive holiday season, December 7-24.
John Kevin Jones portrays Charles Dickens as he tells the timeless Christmas tale in the Greek Revival parlor of the landmark 1832 Merchant’s House Museum. The one-hour performance, created from Dickens’ own script and directed by Dr. Rhonda Dodd, transports audiences back 150 years in a setting surrounded by 19th-century holiday decorations, flickering candles, and richly appointed period furnishings.
Pre-performance receptions with the show's star will also be held before Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening performances. Mulled wine and light fare will be served in the venue's cozy mid-19th-century kitchen.
