While attending the library's Festival of Trees Opening Gala, enjoy the Delvena Theatre Company's performance of "A Christmas Carol." This retelling of the Charles Dickens classic will include lovely Christmas music and period costumes. Light refreshments will be served.   

Marley comes back from the dead to help Scrooge amend his miserly ways and transform himself into a pleasant, giving old gentleman. With the help of three ghosts — the Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future — Scrooge takes a long look at his life and re-evaluates its path. 

The show, recommended for ages 12 and older, is performed by Lynne Moulton, Joseph Zamparelli and Fran Baron. 

The Delvena Theatre Company was founded in 1992 and has performed at various venues, most often at the Boston Center for the Arts. The company has been nominated for five Independent Reviewers of New England awards.

No registration is required. This event is a part of the library's Festival of Tree's Opening Gala, which runs from 6pm to 8:30pm.
