First Fridays kicks off season with new take on Dickens classic

The season’s premiere First Fridays for Families performance is set for tomorrow night.

“A Dickens’ Tale” will be performed at 6 p.m. in the upstairs area of The Commons in downtown Columbus. This free event is a play based on the classic Christmas tale, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. You are encouraged to take part in this family-friendly event.

According to the agency, “Celebrate the holiday season with Old Scrooge, bumbling Bob Cratchit, one hilarious beggar woman and all the delightful ghostly visitors in this heartwarming tale of friendship and generosity.”

First Fridays for Families are organized by the Columbus Area Arts Council and this showing is sponsored by Old National Bank and the city of Columbus. You can find out more about Arts Council programming at artsincolumbus.org
