‘Totally Scrooged’ returns to Grafton on Dec. 14

GRAFTON — “Totally Scrooged!,” comic actor Pickles Reese's saucy solo sendup of Charles Dickens' holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol,” returns to Town Hall Auditorium, 117 Main St., for a benefit performance on Friday, Dec. 14, at 7:30 p.m.

A $15 donation at the door is suggested, with proceeds benefiting Grafton Cares and Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA).

Pickles Reese (the stage alter-ego of Grafton blacksmith Adam Howard) has garnered rave reviews around the country for his comedic interpretation of the holiday classic, now in its 20th season.

Oft-described as a sidesplitting raucous romp through Christmas past, present, and future, this program is for mature audiences. Reese dishes up all the beloved characters of Dickens' Victorian London - slightly pickled, of course - yet preserves and tenderly delivers the story's timeless beauty and message.

SEVCA's mission is to enable people to cope with and reduce the hardships of poverty; create sustainable self-sufficiency; and reduce the causes and move toward the elimination of poverty.

For more information on the performance, please call 802-843-1162.
