Begins December 6!

DIckens want you too.jpg

Accept no substitutes! Our holiday tradition now in its 14th year! December 6 - 23

the performances on 12/16 and 12/21 are now sold out**

Based on the performance edition by Charles Dickens, adapted by ISC
Performed by David Melville, with Kalean Ung
Directed by Melissa Chalsma

“Overflows with poetry and drama ... it simply must not be missed.” On Stage Los Angeles

“Some of the best laughs to be found on stage.” Broadway World

This December, join us as the ISC Studio transforms into a cozy Victorian drawing room and we welcome Mr. Dickens himself to our stage. David Melville plays the author and gives a virtuoso performance as nearly all the characters in the story. It is truly A Christmas Carol like no other!

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Thursday and Friday performances will be followed by flaming punch.
