This charming version of A Christmas Carol, adapted by Christopher Schario, focuses on Dickens’ powerful language, humor and warmth. The play tells the story of the redemption of the human soul as it follows Scrooge, a lonely miser who finds a second chance. The piece will be brought to life by an ensemble of six actors and told through the eyes of a child reading the tale for the first time.
