On December 2, 1867, Charles Dickens began his first American reading tour of "A Christmas Carol" in Boston. Since 2002, WBUR has hosted a reading of this timeless holiday tale originally at the Omni Parker House, the historic site of Dickens’ first performance. This year, our tradition will continue at CitySpace with a reading by your some of your favorite WBUR hosts: Steve Brown, Meghna Chakrabarti, Tiziana Dearing, Ben Brock Johnson and Robin Young with musical performances by The Mistletones.
