Dickens by Candlelight

11/09/2025

2025 will be a DIY Dickens experience on December 22 and 23 at Audubon Church, 3219 Chelsea St, Orlando at 7:30 pm.

Audience members (many of whom nearly know the show by heart) can participate by reading one of the character roles the Scrooge (played by Sarah Matthews) interacts with. Seasoned RS&C performers will provide the narrative parts. The normal special spiced tea and homemade Christmas cookies will be "help yourself".

Tickets will be "pay what you will"

Fun will be had by all as this heart-touching tale of redemption and second chances is told by all of us.

You won't know til you get there whether you will get a chance to read the character of your choice, but no matter who reads what, we'll have fun as TOGETHER we bring the story to life.
