George Younce, who teaches theater at the Art Institute of Charleston, presents a one-man rendition of Charles Dickens’s beloved story, “A Christmas Carol.” Younce says, “The idea of this show is to reach out to others and let them see what the theater can be about. It’s different each time I perform this play. I think the audience’s imagination gets into the story and helps it to carry through.” Come join in the fun on Saturday, December 17, at 10:30 a.m. Admission is free. Co-sponsored by the McClellanville Branch of Charleston County Library, the play is suitable for all ages.
