"A Christmas Carol" at Gore Place

Gore Place will host a performance of "A Christmas Carol" within the carriage house on the property, built circa 1793.

"Johnny Kinsman performs an elaborative reading of Dickens's cherished story featuring the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, his spirited encounters with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, and the heartwarming transformation that follows. The story will come alive with the inimitable musical talents of violinist Justin Ouellet and soprano Ann Moss to enhance the magical experience," a preview of the show said.

The event is scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. Tickets can be found here.
