Michael Fields Agricultural Institute is teaming up with Walking the Dog Theater to offer a unique public performance of Charles Dickens’ beloved classic “A Christmas Carol” free of charge.
The show will debut at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15 at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, W2493 County Road ES in East Troy.
The local show is part of a special project that will offer about 10 free performances of the Christmas classic to communities in New York, Wisconsin and Massachusetts.
“The Christmas Carol Project is a first step in an even larger vision to develop more consciously the foundation for a free cultural life,” said officials from Walking the Dog Theater. “Throughout WTD Theater’s 15-year history, the theater has been dedicated to making arts experiences accessible to everyone.”
The Christmas Carol Project has an overall travel and production cost of $4,000 for its 10 performances. The group is currently seeking to raise the money through a combination of grants and donations.
