*While the Riverton Theater isn’t able to perform the whole of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol for you this year, we do not want to miss the chance to bring you small performances which we will have under the tent in the courtyard next to the Riverton General Store, familiar Christmas carols, the opportunity to help fund the Tiny Tim Fund and some wonderful Christmas Spirit. Join us in caroling around town and spread the cheer, and we will see you next year.
