As the Warner Grand Theatre’s closure is scheduled for January 2024, and theaters in general are facing mounting challenges, the San Pedro Waterfront Arts District will be presenting a staged reading of Sir Patrick Stewart’s Adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, on Friday, December 22nd, 7:30pm in the Warner Grand Theatre, 478 West 6th Street.

This staged reading will feature local luminaries, such as Councilman Tim McOsker of the One Five (https://councildistrict15.lacity.gov/) and actors from Little Fish/Shakespeare by the Sea (https://www.littlefishtheatre.org/pond/), Encore South Bay Group (https://www.encoresouthbay.org/), House of Bards Theatre Company (https://houseofbards.org/), and Cornerstone Theater represented by Bruce Lemon (https://cornerstonetheater.org/).
