Tom Simonetti, founder of The Valley Shakespeare Festival.
MONROE — A Christmas Carol is coming to Monroe this December. The show will take place one day only (Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 2 PM and 7PM) at St. Peter’s Grace Episcopal Church.
Charles Dickens’ production focuses on the life of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserable old man who neglects the Christmas spirit. After the death of his business partner, Jacob Marley, he is visited by the three ghosts of Christmas: past, present and future. Dickens highlights how being kind can transform a life and that greed will drive someone to their end.
This one-man show is adapted and performed by Tom Simonetti, founder of The Valley Shakespeare Festival. Simonetti will be portraying 25 different characters, including, but not limited to, Scrooge, Marley, Tiny Tim, and the ghosts.

DERBY — The Derby Public Library presents a live one-man performance of A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, adapted and performed by Patrick R. Spadaccino and directed by Scott R. Brill in the Upstairs Meeting Room at DPL on Saturday, December 2, 2023 at 12:00 noon.
Both performer, Patrick Spadaccino and director, Scott Brill, have been drawn to the story of A Christmas Carol since they were children. At a recent rehearsal, Patrick reflected on the timeless themes of A Christmas Carol, “Being helpful and kind to those around us while making the most of every chance to do good are concepts that are just as relevant today as they were when A Christmas Carol was written in the 1840s.”
