In December of 2022 Richmond Shakespeare Festival will present A Christmas Carol - (a play with music) at the new Reid Center, located at 1004 N. A Street, Richmond, Indiana.

Formerly the Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church, this repurposed venue features windows and other architectural features designed by the renowned Louis Comfort Tiffany.

The story is adapted by Jim Helsinger, directed by RSF Artistic Director, Patrick Flick, and features both traditional Victorian Christmas carols. The play also features original music by Patrick Flick, and orchestration by New York composer, Daniel Levy. Original Victorian costumes are provided by Melanie Mortimer.

The Cast features local favorites like R. Scott Shriver, Bill Brewer and Erica Pearson and brings to Richmond other delightful actors from New York City, Chicago and Cleveland. Also featured are two young local actors, Gannon Vien and Aila Vien.
