Classic Retelling A DICKENS TALE Coming to Ridgefield Playhouse for the Holidays

By:
The Ridgefield Playhouse and Ridgefield Academy Family Series are bringing the spirit of Christmas to the stage on Saturday, November 19 at 11am and 2pm with "A Dickens Tale" - a retelling of the beloved Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol.

In this family friendly production, which is partially underwritten by Books on the Common, South Salem Animal Hospital and Noah's Ark Animal Hospital, the audience will meet the mean old man named Ebenezer Scrooge who is transformed into a jolly, holiday loving man.

The show features all the classic characters from old Scrooge, bumbling Cratchit, Jacob Marley, the three ghostly visitors, a hilarious beggar woman and more - while teaching lessons about friendship, generosity, and the true meaning of Christmas.

An unsuspecting audience member even has the opportunity to join our actors on stage in the role of Tiny Tim! After the show, you can meet the cast in the lobby and have your book signed!

Before or after the show, visit Dimitri's Diner (16 Prospect Street, Ridgefield) and enjoy 10% off your bill when tickets are presented! Media sponsors for this event are Macaroni Kid (Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield) and Danbury's 98Q.

As part of The Ridgefield Playhouse Arts for Everyone program, which helps make the performing arts available to economically disadvantaged residents of Fairfield County who cannot afford the cost of admission, even at reduced rates, the Union Savings Bank Arts for Everyone recipient is Escape to the Arts. The Playhouse was founded in the belief that arts can and do make a difference in the lives of people, and that accessibility to the arts should not be limited by one's ability to pay. Arts for Everyone works with a wide range of non-profit organizations including ABC, Ability Beyond Disability, Danbury Youth Services, Family and Children's Aid, Grassroots Tennis, Mental Health Associates of CT and the Out and About Club. Your donation helps provide tickets and transportation to The Playhouse.

For tickets ($15), call the box office at 203-438-5795, or visit ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Ridgefield Playhouse is a non-profit performing arts center located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.
