In a festive mood, the ladies of the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society mount another assault on the classics with their stage version of A Christmas Carol. They enthusiastically portray a dizzy array of characters from the Dickensian favorite (and a few which aren't), engineer some novel audience participation while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system and a real Farndale first rap their vocal cords and feet around two original, show stopping songs. Recommended for families; adult tickets are $21.40 (includes tax). Old Courthouse Theatre, 49 Spring Street NW, Concord. For more information on ticket prices, see OCT (arts-people.com).
