"A Christmas Carol"

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 favorite WBUR hosts and reporters Meghna Chakrabarti, Tiziana Dearing, Steve Brown, Robin Young and Darryl C. Murphy with musical performances by The Mistletones.

Celebrate the 22nd anniversary of this annual event and support the women of Rosie's Place with your ticket purchase. Founded in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the United States, Rosie's Place provides a safe and nurturing environment to help poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives.

Complimentary samples of Arlington Brewing Company's "Marley's Ghost" will be served before the show and cookies and hot cocoa will be served to attendees during intermission.

Registrants may be contacted by CitySpace about this or future events.
