DESCRIPTION:A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens \n(A Staged Reading to Benefit The 
 Actors’ Fund)\nThe SAG-AFTRA San Francisco-Northern California Local 
 presents the premiere reading of A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens as 
 adapted and directed by Michael Gene Sullivan, with musical direction by 
 Joshua Raoul Brody.\n\n This rousing, worker-oriented version of the 
 time-honored Christmas story features classic songs from the labor movement 
 but is re-imagined by Sullivan for the troubled, 21st Century. Dickens’ 
 themes of labor unrest, joblessness and starvation are now set in an 
 abandoned Occupy encampment, and told from the point of view of the worker, 
 Bob Cratchit, whose beleaguered family lives in a chilly tent alongside a 
 band of Occupy activists and artists. They survive by telling anyone who 
 will listen this classic story of oppression and hope, as they all fall 
 further into the abyss between rich and poor. Will anyone listen?\n\n The 
 staged reading will feature professional union actors—all members of 
 SAG-AFTRA—and will benefit the Actors’ Fund, a nationwide human 
 services organization for professionals in the performing arts. \n \nJuly 
 28th is Harry Bridges birthday and SAG-AFTRA, with the Bridges family, 
 invites you to join them after the reading for cake, champagne and music to 
 celebrate Harry’s 113th birthday!  Harry Bridges was a founding leader of 
 the longshore union, now known as the ILWU.  This Laborfest is a 
 commemoration of the 1934 general strike made possible by the longshore and 
 maritime workers, that brought us, in 1935, Social Security, unemployment 
 insurance and the right to organize labor unions.\n\n For more information,
