There have been 182 Christmases celebrated since Charles Dickens published what would become the second most popular Christmas story ever told. Hundreds of adaptations have been made – but only one is set right here in western Mass!

Join us for A Very 413 Christmas Carol, produced by New England Public Media and recorded live for radio broadcast.  Starring Connor Ratliff (Dead Eyes, Widow’s Bay) as Ebeneezer Scrooge and featuring a cast of NEPM hosts, reporters, and very special guests to be announced soon. 

This festive fundraiser supports New England Public Media.
