Storytime Theater presents an inclusive interpretation of Charles Dickens' beloved classic, A Christmas Carol. Christmas Eve provides a backdrop to explore the arrival of four spirits sent from beyond to teach a miserly Scrooge about the interconnectedness of people and the importance of kindness, compassion, and community.

A Christmas Carol will be performed on Friday, Dec. 13 at 10:30 a.m. at the Central Library. This free performance is suitable for kids in grades kindergarten through grade 5. No tickets or reservations are necessary.
