Our next session of Reading Theatre will focus on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol<\/em><\/strong>, perfect for the holiday season.\u00a0Reading begins at 2pm so please show up by 1:45pm if you wish to have a chance to read.<\/p>\n

Penned by Charles Dickens and originally published in 1843, A Christmas Carol, continues to be loved, read, and enjoyed on the page, stage and film.<\/p>\n

Christmas is not complete without this\u00a0 ghost story of a miser’s transformation into a man who always “kept Christmas well”<\/p>\n

Part ghost story, part social commentary, it’s an inducement to kindness and compassion, and a wonderful ride.<\/p>\n

Reading Theatre is created for those with a passion for live theatre. A live play reading of iconic plays over the ages. All are welcome and encouraged \u2014 from the seasoned professional to the inquisitive amateur and everyone in between.<\/p>\n

PDF version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol for reading on a device or downloading. Limited print copies will be available.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Show up and read, or listen to others read these incredible shows.\u00a0 A short discussion may take place\u2026or not.\u00a0 This is an event led by the cast and audience.<\/p>\n

Readers will be chosen just before the play reading begins and will be cast by those who show up and express an interest in being involved.\u00a0 Some roles may be double cast.<\/p>\n

This event is being led by Allan Morgan, Senior Artist in Residence and Vancouver theatre scene stalwart. We’d love to see you there!<\/p>\n
