CHARLES DICKENS’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL

MAKES CSUN DEBUT

 

A HOLIDAY TREAT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY BRINGING IN THE SEASON OF GOOD CHEER AND MERRYMAKING!

 

Northridge, CA: ArtsNorthridge in association with the Metropolitan Educational Theatre Network (MET2) is pleased to announce four special holiday performances from December 10-12 of the timeless Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol to be presented at the Performing Arts Center at California State University, Northridge.

 

A Christmas Carol is a holiday adventure suitable for the young and old, creatively bringing them into a masterpiece of world literature. This is the opportunity to see the characters of Dickens’ compelling novel come to life onstage. Audiences will join Mr. Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the entire Crachit family, along with the Spirits that guide Scrooge on a journey through his life.  A Christmas Carol sends a wonderful message to all about hope, love and the values of friendship and family.

 

There is also no better way to engage young people to read the timeless classics than through the power of the theatre.  Our company of players will inspire all in a colorful and positive display of artistic and musical talent that is sure to become a treasured memory for years to come.  Don’t miss this chance to become part of the magic!  Join us as we travel back in time and look in on one very special winter’s day.  And as Tiny Tim always says, “God Bless us, every one!”

 

Performances of A Christmas Carol will be on Friday, December 10 at 8 pm, Saturday, December 11 at 2 pm & 7 pm and Sunday, December 12 at 2 pm. Tickets are $28 Preferred Seating, $25 general admission. All children and students are $18. Parking is $4 at all times! All regular priced single tickets can be purchased by calling the Ticket Office at  818-677-2488 or log on to: http://www.artsnorthridge.csun.com/

 

The Performing Arts Center is located on Zelzah Avenue, between Prairie and Plummer Streets in the Student Union Complex. Patrons should use Parking Lot G4.

 

*IMPORTANT NOTE: The CSU system has recently instituted that parking fees be assigned on a 24/7 basis, therefore patrons are required to purchase a $4 parking permit for all performances on the CSUN campus. (During the renovations of the Student Union Complex, there will be personnel and additional signage to assist patrons to the alternate entrance of the PAC.) We apologize for any inconvenience. Note: All programs and artists are subject to change.
