Summoners Ensemble Theatre and the Merchant’s House Museum celebrate 13 years of A Christmas Carol at the Merchant's House. Surrounded by 19th century holiday decorations, flickering candles and richly appointed period furnishings, audiences will be transported back 150 years in this captivating 70 minute performance created from Dickens’ own script.

It's December 1867, and Charles Dickens has arrived in New York City for a month of sold-out performances of his beloved holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Be transfixed as Mr. Dickens tells his timeless Christmas tale in the elegant intact Greek Revival parlor of the landmark 1832 Merchant’s House Museum.

“A Holiday Reception with Mr. Dickens” returns at select performances only. You’re invited to a special performance by Mr. Dickens of A Visit from St. Nicholas and raise a cup of “Smoking Bishop” (mulled wine) or chilled cider to toast the holiday season! We’ll party like the Dickens in the 19th century family room, kitchen and garden (weather permitting) of the Merchant’s House Museum during the reception.
