This holiday season,  the classic Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol of past, present and future will be re-imagined with some local flavour, story and song by local theatre company, Shakespeare In Action. A Weston Christmas Carol will be running nightly at 7 pm on December 10, 11 and 12 in Artscape Weston Common’s Rockport Performance Hall, with support from the Pearson Connects Fund.

The Pearson Connects Fund provides subsidies for eligible community and arts groups to access spaces at Artscape Weston Common. The Fund enables community groups, non-profits and local arts organizations to access the performance, event and meeting spaces in the hub to collaborate, create, perform and showcase their work.

For this show, four professional actors and one special (and surprise!) community guest will take the stage for a dramatic reading of the holiday favourite in five sections, with musical accompaniment from the Weston Silver Band Quintet.

All performances for A Weston Christmas Carol are pay-what-you-can. The audience is also invited to bring non-perishable food items to support the Weston Area Emergency Support’s local food bank.

To book tickets in advance, call SIA at 416-703-4881, Monday to Friday, between 10am and 4pm. Advance tickets can be booked through credit card only, and will be charged a $1.00 processing fee per order.
