Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, Presented by Rick Corbo as Dickens
About this Event
Imagine stepping into a beautiful decorated Victorian home on a December evening, surrounded by the glow of Christmas trees, garlands and soft white lights, and hear Charles Dickens himself tell the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. That experience will come to life on Saturday December 12th at 6:30 pm.
Corbo’s performance recreates the intimate dramatic readings Dickens himself gave during his lifetime, bringing the characters, humor, drama, and timeless message of A Christmas Carol to life. And there is perhaps no better setting for the performance than the Hotchkiss-Fyler House. Built in 1900, this elegant house museum will be dressed in its holiday finery, creating a warm and atmospheric setting for this beloved Christmas classic.
The program will be approximately 45 minutes in length.
Rick Corbo has portrayed Charles Dickens for more than eight years, performing at venues and events including the Storrowtown Yuletide Weekend, the Greater Boston Dickens Fellowship, and Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio. Corbo also wrote and starred as Dickens in Reclaiming the Carol, broadcast annually on the EWTN Network, and appeared as Dickens on an episode of the EWTN series Chesterton Station. A Torrington native, Corbo now lives with his family in West Haven, Connecticut.
Seating for the program will begin at 6:15.
