A Niagara Christmas Carol, adapted by Jamie Williams

Staged Reading directed by Emily Oriold, Artistic Director

December 6 – St. Catharines Museum
December 7 & 8 – Mandeville Theatre

 

Join us for a staged reading of our newly adapted Canadian version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in partnership with the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre. In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Welland Canal Company and the construction of the Canal itself, we are taking Dickens’ beloved holiday ghost story and setting it in 19th century St. Catharines at the time of the Canal’s build. A Niagara Christmas Carol is a uniquely Canadian take on the traditional story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s redemption, performed by some of your favourite Foster Festival personalities.
