Commedia Christmas Carol

COMMEDIA CHRISTMAS CAROL
Based on the Story by Charles Dickens

Ebenezer Scrooge is an excellent man of business.  He cares a lot about money – but very little for his fellow man.  This miserly banker categorically shuns charity, compassion, and cheer.  Enter a terrifying ghost on Christmas Eve!  Jacob Marley (dead for 7 years) visits Scrooge, his old business partner with a warning: Mankind is your business!  Change your ways or suffer forever!  You will wear the chains of a life misspent, as I do!   

At Marley’s behest, three spirits take Scrooge on an unforgettable journey into his Past, Present, and Future, laying out his life in front of him.  Once Scrooge can see what adds up to a life well spent, can he alter his ways, and therefore his fate? Perhaps Tiny Tim, the son of his office clerk, can change his heart.

Please Note: There will be use of theatrical fog and minimal strobe effects.
