Step into The Josephine, New Orleans’ beautiful new venue on Napoleon Avenue, for a festive evening with Crescent City Stage, with the support of Amanda and Ryan Berger, The Villere Family, Neel Gupta and a Community Arts Grant through the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.
Our talented actors will present a one-night only staged reading of Patrick Barlow’s inventive re-imagination of A Christmas Carol, an intimate, lively retelling of Dickens’ classic, full of humor, heart, and holiday spirit.

Event starts at 6:00pm, followed by the reading at 7:30pm.
