Primary Stages Announces New Date for Raúl Esparza-Led A CHRISTMAS CAROL Reading

PRIMARY STAGES has announced that the virtual benefit reading of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, adapted by Theresa Rebeck & Erin Daley and directed by Theresa Rebeck will now take place on Friday December 18, 2020 at 8pm ET. Originally scheduled for Wednesday December 16, the live reading has been moved due to a scheduling conflict. The recording will now be available from Saturday December 19 through Tuesday December 22.

Starring four-time Tony Award nominee Raúl Esparza (Company, "Law & Order: SVU") as Scrooge, the cast will also include Mary Bacon (Coal Country), Abadi Bacon Leynse (A Christmas Carol), Kimberly Chatterjee (Pride and Prejudice), W. Tré Davis (Hamlet), David Mason (Seared), Krysta Rodriguez (Spring Awakening) & Matthew Saldivar (Dracula).
