Join Us For Our sixth Big Year!
A “Christmas Carol on the Avenue” rolls into West Reading once again! A beloved holiday tradition in Reading, PA for our sixth year. This is one holiday season event you do not want to miss. Filled laughter and joy, happiness and tears, Fecho Productions is proud to bring the holiday spirit to each and every one of you. After a sold-out run every holiday season, “A Christmas Carol on the Avenue,” will once again, this December, grace the Holiday Glow of this effervescent Avenue in West Reading. This year, Fecho Productions is set to present only eight performances of this special family-friendly holiday event!
Back by popular demand, and now in its 6th big year, the festive interactive holiday sensation, A Christmas Carol, with a Pennsylvania Dutch Twist, strolls joyously into West Reading, once again, sponsored by the L.O.V.E. Team of West Reading and Curious on the Avenue. Since it was debut in 2014, this wondrous traveling show has played to standing room only and has delighted audiences of all ages. This delightful event begins and ends at Curious on the Avenue, at 605 Penn Avenue, in their idyllic courtyard. When guests arrive they will be treated to a wine tasting, provided by the award-winning Starving Artist Winery, and there is also complimentary cheese and crackers; and apple cider, juice, and soda for those underage or non-drinkers.
The magical storytelling begins at Curious as the audience meets old Scrooge who is about to go on his rounds. The audience is transported back in time to the streets of Olde West Reading Towne. Scrooge, himself plays the surly emcee of this delightfully fun and wonderfully homespun treatment of the Charles Dickens’ classic. Children and adults love it, giggling between the comedy and the dramatic twists, as they also get a mini-tour of historic West Reading.
Ebenezer Scrooge spins the time-honored tale, as the audience walks along with Scrooge, making several stops at various West Reading businesses to meet other characters and further the storyline. At each participating store, guests will be offered complimentary snacks or non-alcoholic refreshments, as well. As old Scrooge begins to find some faith and trust in his fellow man and is reminded what a blessing each day of life is, this unique retelling of the Dickens’ classic wends its way back to Curious, as the audience and the cast sing Christmas carols!
A Christmas Carol on the Avenue is the brainchild of producer LJ Fecho, owner and founder of Fecho Productions and Artistic Director of Genesius Theatre. Fecho adapted the script from the book by Charles Dickens. The interactive show has a cast of 7 actors, who play multiple roles and even audience members are called upon to portray various characters. This year’s production features, once again, Vicki Nunis playing the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge.

God Bless Us Everyone!
He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world.
