Why see A Christmas Carol?
A Classic Christmas Theatre Event!
Penny-pinching and bad-tempered old miser Ebenezer Scrooge goes on the adventure of his life, from his past to his present and beyond and learns that the value of gold will never equal that of genuine love for his fellow men. The classic tale thrills with it's beloved characters and message of compassion, love and kindness and of course, Christmas spirit!
Ever since Charles Dickens first penned A Christmas Carol in 1843, it has seen myriad stage adaptations and the popularity of this tale of redemption and second chances has seemingly never waned. From stage to screen, opera to one-man shows, it is one of the most influential Christmas shows and a traditional holiday outing that defines the joy of the Yuletide period for most of us.
Bah! Humbug! What Is A Christmas Carol About?
Ebenezer Scrooge doesn't see the point of letting his employees have a day off for Christmas, not even kind Bob Cratchit, whose son Tiny Tim is very sick. Eventually, he is convinced and retires to his room to pass Christmas Eve as he usually does, alone. But this Christmas is different. He has a visitor for a change, the wretched soul of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Doomed to wander the earth for eternity for his sins in life, Marley warns Scrooge of 3 impending visitations.
In a flurry of fear, he meets the gentle Ghost of Christmas Past, the jolly Ghost of Christmas Present and the terrifying Ghost of Christmas to Come, all of whom want to teach him a lesson...

Best production I’ve seen!
I just want to say this production has been one of the best ones I’ve seen. Great actors, great Christmas carols, the adaptations made didn’t hinder the original story, and even the energy of the audience was uplifting and contagious. The message of hope transcended amongst the crowd. There was laughter, nostalgia and tears of sadness and joy! I particularly enjoyed the song choice and the emphasis on unity and family through various scenes.Something we don’t see often anymore. Thank you Kevin Moriarty for keeping the story clean, so the whole family can see it!

A Must-See Production!
Wow - what a great show. Our family went to the evening show on 12/17/19. We are so glad we went and would like to recommend it to everyone. It is definitely a must-see production of a very creative adaptation of Dickens' classic novel. What a rich array of multiple talents the show features - acting, singing and the music instruments! If you are long familiar with the classic story, you will be delighted by this version. If you are new to the story, you will fall in love with it. The message from the show is so moving and so important in today's world, after 176 years since Dickens' original was written. Plain amazing. We want to go again before it closes. Highly recommended. ... Read more
