With abundant joy, clever wit, and a keen eye for odd ball detail, Charles supercharges the classic living room slide show into a laugh-out-loud roast and toast of kitschy mid-century New Year’s, Easter, The Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas life. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=73994;token=guest.dae5215e8fc15288788c8fa4ffc35bab Gia Inferrera-Jordahl Date: Sat, Dec 8, 2012 Time: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Description: No one can forget Charles Dickens' ever classic tale of Scrooge, a lonely miser, who finds the spirit of Christmas with help from visions from his past, present and future. Christopher Schario's adaptation of Dickens' powerful work certainly will not disappoint. Through powerful language, humor and tenderness, this delightful version of A Christmas Carol tells the story of the redemption of a human soul.
