Join us for an unforgettable and extraordinarily intimate holiday evening as Bryan Cranston stars as Ebenezer Scrooge in a live staged reading of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, benefiting The Ed Asner Family Center. At the beautiful Garry Marshall Theatre, an audience of just 75 guests will experience this beloved holiday classic from only feet away, with an extraordinary cast including Noah Wyle, Jean Smart, Clancy Brown, Dorian Harewood, Samantha Sloyan, Tom Bergeron, Connor Tomlinson, Tal Anderson, Chelsea Darnell, Spencer Harte, and more. The evening will feature music from Chris Halon and performers from EPIC, a neurodiverse music program, and will honor Vicki Dummer, Head of Current Programming for Warner Bros. Discovery. Guests will enjoy holiday-inspired hors d’oeuvres and desserts catered by Sponsor, Ma’s Italian Kitchen, along with wine and festive drinks. With only 75 seats available, this is not a traditional gala — it is a rare opportunity to experience an incredible group of artists up close while supporting TEAFC’s mission to enrich the lives of neurodivergent individuals and their families.

Doors will open at 6pm, the live show starts at 7pm.

The Ed Asner Family Center

The Ed Asner Family Center provides a safe and transformative environment for families with special needs children. Here, they interact, learn and thrive as they acquire skills together, as a family, that enable them to navigate day-to-day life. 

Matthew and Navah Asner, parents of three autistic sons, founded the Center. It provides access to critical mental health services and experienced staff who are trained to address the challenges faced by the special needs child. It supports and educates family members and caregivers with a wide variety of specialized programs, designed specifically for special needs families. These programs help family members adjust to and manage life with a loved one who is different. No one is alone, and no one is turned away for an inability to pay for services.
