Joyous\, witty\, and captivating\, “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. \nFor the last twelve years\, December has found McGarry\, lugging his trunk\, on the road with “A Christmas Carol.” He began in 2013\, touring Cape Cod and Massachusetts’s South Shore. By 2018 and 2019\, “A Christmas Carol” was being seen on stages across the European continent\, as well as Ireland and the U.K.\, with performances in Innsbruck\, Dublin\, London\, Bath\, Basel\, Brunico\, Dusseldorf\, Geneva\, Co. Leitrim\, and Prague. From 2021 to 2025\, McGarry was on the road here at home for five sold-out seasons. This year’s tour begins in upstate New York at the Auburn Public Theatre\, then heads west to Arizona with performances at the Rogue Theatre in Tucson and CPAC in Green Valley\, before returning home to New England for performances at Newton Presbyterian Church; Saco River Theatre in Buxton\, Maine; Spire Center for Performing Arts in Plymouth; Vokes Players Theatre in Wayland; and on Cape Cod at Thacher Hall in Yarmouth Port\, Sandwich Arts Alliance at the Glasstown Stage in Sandwich\, and Hyannis Arts Hall. \nAbout Neil McGarry\nA professional actor for over thirty years\, Neil McGarry received his training at the National Shakespeare Conservatory and is the founder and former Artistic Director of The Bay Colony Shakespeare Company.
