SHELTON - The final performance of Valley Shakespeare Festival's "A Christmas Carol" will be staged at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Shelton History Center's Wilson Barn.


Saturday's show was cancelled due to inclement weather, but the cast and crew will re-assemble for one final performance at the Barn.

Tickets are limited and must be reserved in advance through the Valley Shakespeare Festival’s website (www.vsfestival.org) or by calling 203-513-9446.

Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students/children and children under the age of 5 are admitted free.

The script was adapted solely from Charles Dickens’ text.

The Wilson Barn is an authentic period structure and is not heated, so guests are strongly advised to dress very warmly (including gloves) and bring a lap blanket if possible.

The Shelton Historical Society runs the history center at 70 Ripton Road.
