The magical storytelling begins at Curious as the audience meets old Scrooge who is about to go on his rounds. The audience is transported back in time to the streets of 1950’s West Reading. Scrooge, himself plays the surly emcee of this delightfully fun and wonderfully homespun treatment of the Charles Dickens’ classic. Children and adults love it, giggling between the comedy and the dramatic twists, as they also get a mini-tour of historic West Reading.

Vicki Nunis as the crotchety Ebenezer Scrooge in the time honored Charles Dickens’ Classic “A Christmas Carol… on the Avenue” walking performance show in West Reading, surrounded by audience members in one of the many charming West Reading Shops.
