SSAC & Member Artist Events - A Christmas Carol: The Prequel
Thu Dec 11, 2025 - Sun Dec 14, 2025
!!! A MOST PRESSING ANNOUNCEMENT !!!
From Mrs. Catherine Dickens, Domestic Providence & Household Muse
DEAR FRIENDS AND GOODLY NEIGHBOURS,
Mr. Charles Dickens, Author, finds himself in the gravest of literary predicaments: his newest story — A Christmas Carol — simply refuses to move along!
To remedy this unfortunate blockage of the imagination, we are hosting a Sociable Reading & Prompting Party, and you are most urgently invited to assist.
Join us in the Dickens parlour, where friends and neighbours (that's you!) shall lend your laughter, and good company to help Mr. Dickens bring his tale to life. Expect a lively reading of A Christmas Carol, complete with pantomime, whimsy, and just a touch of holiday foolishness — for what better cure is there for a stuck story than shared merriment?
The Prescription for an Evening of Cheer:
Please consider dressing/embellishing in your best Victorian cheer (if you wish!) and prepare to take your place among Dickens' most intimate circle of friends.
With your help, we are certain that the story will at last flow freely.
"God bless us, every one" – and may laughter prove the best cure for a constipated quill!
