Stephens College "Dickens Victorian Christmas" preview by Jill Renae Hicks

While Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” returns to community theaters around the state in a passel of yuletide adaptations, Columbia is in luck: “Mr. Dickens” himself — and his wife — will grace one of the cozier, more decorated spots in town, ushering in an event distinctive among holiday productions. That event is Stephens College’s annual parlor gathering, “A Dickens Victorian Christmas,” a faithfully cherished holiday happening for which tickets typically sell out in advance. The event, held in the parlors of the Historic Senior Hall on the school’s campus, ordinarily fills up every year for the intimately set theatrical-and-musical showcase, which balances historical reminiscences with jocund Victorian humor.
