The Palace Theatre in Georgetown presents a special performance of A Christmas Carol for persons with special needs and their families on Thursday Evening December 1st. The show will start at 7:30 pm; seating starts at 6:50 pm for those in wheelchairs and for all others at 7:00 pm.
This will be a shortened version of A Christmas Carol beginning when Ebenezer Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Present and will run for approximately one hour. American Sign Language interpreters will be present, as well as audio describers for the blind (if needed).
Please feel free to invite a special teacher, paraprofessional, or support individual so that you and your child/family can enjoy our show together! For this performance, the Palace will seat about 250, and all seats are free. A number of Palace patrons have donated money to the Palace to help cover the expense of this special showing. More Donations are not only needed but will be greatly appreciated!
Because seating is limited, reservations should be made in advance by calling (512) 869-7469 or (512) 869-5081, visiting the Palace office (open M-F 10 am to 4 pm), or by emailing guild.georgetownpalace@gmail.com.
The Palace Theatre is located at 810 South Austin Avenue in Historic Georgetown, just a half-block off the Square.

As a parent of a special needs child I want to personally thank the Georgetown Palace for opening it's arms and it's theatre to include our very unique children and adults. Leaving nothing to chance every detail is carefully thought out and no one is left behind. I hope this starts a movement of more inclusion events and I challenge the Arts community to repeat what the Palace is doing so our children can experience the world outside their door.
