Young Charles Dickens, with Book & Lyrics by Barbara Zinn Krieger and Music by Charles Greenberg, will be directed by Josh Penzell and presented by New York City Children's Theater, December 2nd - 18th, 2016.

Back by popular demand, this remixed (featuring new direction, new songs and diverse cast) modern classic returns for the holidays.
