“Christmas!  Utter rot and nonsense.”  Only one man would say such a thing, and we all know him by the name of Ebenezer Scrooge.  This traditional reworking of the classic Dickens tale for community theatres presents some new faces alongside the familiar to awaken the spirit of the most stubborn miser known to Victorian fiction.  As we all know, the lonely, penny-pinching London businessman cares little for his fellow man — until a dark visit from his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, gives him an ominous warning.  In his journey with three spirits, Scrooge revisits the joys and sorrows of his past, including what might have been his last chance at love.  His visions of the present show how his actions affect not only his own well-being, but also the joy and well-being of those around him.  But it is the vision of the future that holds Ebenezer’s hardest lessons, revealing a terrible fate for himself and those he now cares about if he does not change his ways.  Rediscover the magic of A Christmas Carol in this beautifully written adaptation, complete with a hardy dose of comedy to accompany Scrooge’s heartwarming transformation!
