Reid Farrington's A Christmas Carol Returns

Reid Farrington's A Christmas Carol returns to Abrons Arts Center this holiday season. This year, downtown legend Everett Quinton is on hand for the festivities. Farrington uses his signature style of projecting video images onto a multitude of surfaces to tell the classic Dickens tale incorporating images from 35 different film versions that range from Mister Magoo to George C. Scott and from The Muppets to Bill Murray. The juxtaposition of the Victorian and the digital make for an incredibly unique holiday experience.

November 24, 2012 - December 23, 2012
Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 8 pm; Saturday, Sunday: 3 pm
