Neil McGarry's One-Man A CHRISTMAS CAROL Continues Through Dec 23

Neil McGarry's stunning one-man performance of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL this holiday season is currently thrilling audiences across southeastern New England. An award-winner for "Best Solo Performance of 2014" from the Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) and named "Best of Boston" in 2013 by critic Jules Becker, McGarry's solo interpretation of the revered holiday classic is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Using only Charles Dickens' original text, McGarry delivers a riveting performance, portraying each and every character with full engagement and somehow making audiences believe they're watching an entire company of players. Fully staged, complete with dancing, this one-man tour de force leaves critics and audiences alike laughing and crying with joy. Both moving and entertaining, the result is something much richer than expected and well worth the time and ticket price. McGarry single-handedly brings the spirit of the season to life in this magical one-person performance.
