Christmas At The Commander’s Mansion- A Victorian Holiday

Enliven your holiday season with this unique event! Our family-friendly Victorian holiday includes a self-guided tour of the Commander’s Mansion, merrily decorated for the holidays, and festive refreshments and treats for all. After you explore, enjoy Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL, A PLAY WITH MUSIC, a presentation of the original 1843 novel by Art & Anvil Entertainment directed by Clay Hopper. This exciting and imaginative event condenses Dickens’ words into an hour and fifteen minutes, accompanied and underscored with both traditional and unexpected Christmas music and sound effects live on stage.
