A brief description of the merriment..
“A Dickens of a Tour: Charles Dickens in Washington”
This brilliant writer paid two visits to the Nation’s Capital and his reviews of the two stays couldn’t have differed more! Shortly after his first visit, he penned A Christmas Carol. Is it possible that he created Mr. Scrooge after meeting a Citizen of old Washington City? And, did his understanding and appreciation of Judaism change after his stay with a Washington family? Ponder that thought as you walk in his footsteps. You’ll also witness scenes from his classic Holiday tale performed where he stood over 160 years ago. Done in a quick change style, this “Carol” is our own adaptation from Dickens original classic Holiday tale.
