Preparing for Dickens Christmas

SKANEATELES — The calendar may still say October but the holiday season is not so far away and that means the work has already started for this year’s Dickens Christmas in Skaneateles. While Jim Green, creative director and the performer who has brought Dickens to life for many years has much of the core cast in place with performers who have been a part of Dickens for many years, there is always room for more people to join the fun. Greene and others gathered for auditions at the First Presbyterian Church recently, looking for talented performers to join the cast as town’s people and fill other roles.
