A Christmas Carol

November 18 - December 30, 2022

MAGIC, MUSIC, AND DICKENS

ADAPTED AND DIRECTED BY ROB MELROSE
FROM THE NOVELLA BY CHARLES DICKENS

Inspired by the original novella, Melrose captures Dickens’ witty wording and evocative style to surprise audiences with parts of the familiar story they didn’t know were there! With rich Victorian costumes, exciting magical illusions and beautifully sung holiday carols, A Christmas Carol tells the beloved story of Scrooge and his miraculous transformation. This new production of a holiday tradition is the perfect way for families to recapture the nostalgia of Christmases past and to create memories for many Christmases to come.
