Our ghostly adaptation returns in the TheaterWorks’ holiday tradition of A Christmas Carol. Charles Dickens’ classic story of redemption features a large cast that enacts the past, present, and future of the life of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by three spirits. Through music, technical magic, and puppetry, this all-ages show is the perfect way to celebrate community during the most wonderful time of the year. New magic and a revised script will make 2019 feel like a whole new production.
