"...out-of-the-box storytelling... three incredibly talented performers...absolutely stunning." ~Krysti Reif, Freaks of HHN

An Orlando holiday tradition returns!

Join us for Robin Olson's adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, performed all around you as you sip tea and indulge in Christmas cookies.  

This year marks our 28th anniversary and sees the return of Terry Olson, Robin Olson, and Monica Long Tamborello, as they whisk you away to another time and place, both haunting and familiar. Watch last year's trailer here!

We are thrilled to perform once again this year in the Banquet Hall at Audubon Park Church, located at 3219 Chelsea Street, running December 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, & 23. Caroling will begin before each performance at 7:10, with the show beginning at 7:30 pm. 

This year in addition to general admission tickets, we are also offering VIP experiences:

• General Admission: $49.50 per ticket
  Enjoy traditional Christmas caroling, a magical performance of Dickens by Candlelight, and warm your heart with delicious Christmas cookies and tea throughout the performance.

  Along with the caroling, performance, and seasonal treats, you'll have the exclusive opportunity to take a picture in costume with the cast after the show! Cherish the memory of this holiday tradition for years to come.
