FLORENCE-In the spirit of Charles Dickens, this beloved classic ghost story of Christmas is presented with character voices and plenty of side wit! Featuring storyteller Tim Lowry, this is a holiday event you don’t want to miss.
Storyteller Tim Lowry has traveled from coast to coast presenting Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in theaters, restaurants, churches, libraries, and living rooms. He has surpassed the author himself for number of performances with over 127 shows to his credit. Many families have made his performance of this beloved ghost story an annual tradition. Tim performed “The Carol” at the National Storytelling Festival in 2014 and the show has been a perennial favorite ever since. He has been the featured performer for the annual Dickens Dinner at the award-winning restaurant Circa 1886 in Charleston, SC for 19 years and counting!
Of course, everyone knows that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a ghost story. However, Storyteller Tim Lowry manages to give the ghosts their due while addressing other themes from the novel that run the full gamut of human experience. He comments on the passage of time, the importance of family, the pleasure of music, the significance of weather, and the joy that comes from feasting abundantly on delicious food. Tim’s one-man show is an assault on the senses, but no one leaves the theater the worse for wear. In fact, in the words of Dickens himself, it “haunts pleasantly” and many people return year after year as an annual holiday tradition.
Admission is free the reading will be held at the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library located at 350 N Wood Ave in Florence from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM on December 6th.
