Local history meets a holiday classic in a film-and-performance program.
By David Laguerre
Unity Hall presents An Evening with Charles Dickens on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, from 4 to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Dennis Dewey’s documentary, Mr. Charles Dickens Comes to Utica, examines the author’s 1868 visit. Actor Tim Coombs will perform excerpts from A Christmas Carol. This is not advertised as a full production of the play.
