Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: A Solo Performance by Neil McGarry
“The performance … broke my heart and renewed it … captivating, funny and thought-provoking.” – Jessica Holcomb
Actor Neil McGarry returns to Cotuit Center For The Arts with his awarding winning, solo performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol on Monday, December 23, 2024 at 7:30pm. Directed by Ross MacDonald, McGarry’s performance was named “Best Of Boston” by critic Jules Becker and won “Best Solo Performance” from the Independent Reviewers of New England in 2014.
Armed only with Dickens’ words and a bare stage, McGarry delivers the perennial holiday classic in a tour de force that has left audiences riveted from Boston to Prague. Joyous, witty, and gloriously uplifting, A Christmas Carol is a fully staged, full-throated leap into Dickens’ most famous story, delivered with a simplicity that disarms and touches the heart.
Since 2013, McGarry has been on the road, touring New England initially, then the East Coast, and, finally, Europe. 2018 and 2019 saw A Christmas Carol on stages across the continent and the UK with performances in Innsbruck, Dublin, London, Bath, Basel, Brunico, Dusseldorf, Geneva, County Leitrim, and Prague. In 2021, McGarry brought A Christmas Carol home to the U.S. for a sold out season and is thrilled to be returning to Cotuit Center for the Arts this December.
