The Lake Wales Arts Council, Inc. invitesarea residents to a holiday performance of “The Night Before Christmas Carol” on Dec. 9, at 7:30 pm.

Renowned Dickens scholar, author, playwright and lecturer, Dr. Elliot Engel has crafted this entertaining one-man work that has provided holiday family entertainment for thousands. The performance will be held in Updike Hall, Lake Wales Arts Center, 1099 SR 60 E, Lake Wales.
Alone in his study, facing a deadline, Charles Dickens gets the idea for his famous holiday favorite.
As the story emerges from his imagination, each of the characters comes to life in this witty and entertaining portrait of the writer creating one of the best-loved stories of all time.

Award-winning actor, David zum Brunnen portrays Charles Dickens and seventeen familiar characters from the famous Christmas Carol. Cedric Charles Dickens, great-grandson of Charles Dickens, praised zum Brunnen’s performance, “David absolutely becomes my great-grandfather on stage!”
All are invited after the performance to a wine and cheese reception and the opportunity to meet zum Brunnen.
Tickets are $20 members, $25 non-members; students with ID $5. To reserve seats, call the Lake Wales Arts Center at (863) 676-8426, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This performance is made possible in part by the generosity of Mrs. Bruce Newell and The Ruth V. Marchione Fund.
