The Man Who Adapted Christmas: Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol receives one man treatment courtesy of Charles Ross.

It’s Ebenezer Scrooge’s story of reclamation—the tale that launched a thousand spin-offs—irreverently adapted and presented in Old Town.

Starring the One Star Wars Trilogy/One Man Pride and Prejudice, Charles Ross. Directed by mime master, Trent Arterberry. Both artists have delighted audiences worldwide and they are equally delighted to premiere this adaptation for you this holiday season.

What happens when a comedian walks into a volcano?

In 2023, Ben Miller was the artist in residence at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, the first stand-up comedian ever selected. This was probably a terrible idea on their part.

Come watch this show where scientist turned stand-up comedian Ben Miller explores volcanology, entomology, Hawaiian history, cats, cookies, and more. And yes, that photo is real. Ben has made people laugh in front of a burning lava lake and he is not afraid of you.

Ben Miller is a NYC based scientist turned comedian who has been working for the past 8 years. In that time, he performed at all the top clubs in the city such as Broadway Comedy Club, Carolines, and The Stand. Ben was once ranked as the top roast battler in NYC. He has a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, worked on a science bus, 3D printed cookies and has diffused a few bar fights while on stage. In 2022, Ben Miller's debut hour, Stand-Up Science, had a completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and he now tours internationally.

SOLD OUT - Participants will learn the Drypoint printmaking workshop by working on sketches and transferring these images to plates.
