Where: Genesee Community College, Batavia Campus - One College Road, Batavia ~ Room T102, Conable Technology Building

Background: The Genesee Community College History Club is excited to kick off the holiday season as Charles Dickens, played by WKBW-TV's Meteorologist Mike Randall, presents "A Christmas Carol." All are invited to the College's Batavia Campus on December 18, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. to enjoy this festive and heart-warming storytelling experience.
Back in 1868, Charles Dickens toured the country bringing his classic novel, "A Christmas Carol" to audiences everywhere. Nearly century and a half ago, Dickens' performances were completely sold out in Buffalo. For the last decade, with only a replica of Dickens' famous velvet, fringed reading lectern and a copy of "A Christmas Carol," Randall has been transforming himself into Dickens, recreating the original tour atmosphere in stages, halls, classrooms and many other venues. Randall performs in a period costume with a beard and wavy hair, and through his expert theatrics he brings Charles Dickens to life. He plays each of the novel's characters with distinguishing voices and mannerisms capturing all of the subtle comedic timing of Dickens' original work.
Come to the Batavia campus and witness Charles Dickens bring "A Christmas Carol" to life this season. All seating is general admission, so be sure to arrive early and get a good seat!
