LACONIA — The Laconia Historical & Museum Society, in partnership with the United Baptist Church of Lakeport, will host a special reading performance of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 6 p.m., at United Baptist Church.
On Dec. 27, 1853, Dickens held his first public reading of “A Christmas Carol,” embarking on a notable tour in the U.S. His performances conveyed a powerful message of compassion and hope, enhancing the story's legacy and impact.
The presenter, Cedric Flower, began his acting career at Laconia High School in 1955. He served in the U.S. Navy and earned a degree in theater and history from the University of New Hampshire. While teaching at Portsmouth Senior High School, he founded Theater by the Sea. He continued to act and teach throughout New England until retiring at 70. Today he resides in Laconia with his wife and continues to act.
