"Experience Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” in what the Chicago Sun Times has called “an extraordinary intimate evening of live storytelling and music” performed by actor/violinist Frank Babbitt. “The tale delivered the way it was meant to be, in Dickens’ language” using the original reading text performed by Dickens himself. “Enhanced by Babbitt’s resonating voice and rich violin,” a one man performance with live musical underscore.
Rediscover the timeless story of Scrooge and Marley, the Cratchits, various ghosts and an old man’s life altering encounter with the true spirit of Christmas. Your imagination will be the pathway into a powerful shared experience as the story is brought to vivid life in a dramatic reading with festive holiday music from the time of Dickens."
Frank Babbitt has been sharing his dramatic reading of Dickens' Carol with audiences since 2007. These performances have frequently been given as benefits in partnership with care and educational organizations.
Babbitt received an MM in Violin Performance from SUNY Stony Brook and has been a member of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra since 1995. He has appeared as actor and narrator on several Chicago stages, most notably the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. He has been a guest artist at Millennium Park with the Grant Park Orchestra, the Rush Hour Concert Series and recently with the Rembrandt Chamber Players. In addition to his degrees in music, Frank studied acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting in NYC.
