Montgomery County Community College is pleased to offer a special one-man presentation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre, Central Campus, 340 DeKalb Pike, Blue Bell. The performance is free and open to the community.

Jared Reed, the Producing Artistic Director of Hedgerow Theatre in Media, Pa., and an experienced stage actor, has performed his 80-minute, simplified, one-man show for years, most often in small, intimate settings, where he tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation in a very personal way.

Reed, a former Theatre Arts faculty member, returns to MCCC to bring to life all the characters of this timeless holiday story. The program is free; reservations are required by contacting livelyarts@mc3.edu or calling 215-641-6518.
