A New England holiday tradition, Lantern Light Tours is a 70-minute progressive play that takes its audience back in time to Christmas past. Visitors tour Mystic Seaport on foot and are given horse-drawn carriage rides, experience a traditional dance and may even sight old St. Nick.
This year’s performance, “Nothing Without Charity,” takes visitors through the town of Greenmanville on Christmas Eve 1876. The shipbuilding industry isn’t what it used to be, so the town has decided to put on a benefit production. It couldn't have chosen a better show, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. But things are not going as planned. Tonight, one prominent businessman must face the choices of his past.
