<strong>A CHRISTMAS CAROL</strong>

Don’t miss “A Christmas Carol,” an original adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic, on stage at ARTworks this weekend December 4, 5, and 6 at 7:30 p.m. Live pre-show entertainment begins a half-hour before every performance, and the show is best enjoyed with free homemade goodies, before the giddy trip through Dickens’ masterful tale of miserable miserliness made good. For tickets, call 843-379-2787 or order online at www.beaufortcountyarts.com. ARTworks is located at 2127 Boundary Street in Beaufort, next to OMNI in Beaufort Town Center.
