A Christmas Carol
Audiences follow the classic tale of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited on Christmas Eve by three ghosts intent on melting his cold heart. Adapted by David van Belle, this version reimagines Charles Dickens' novella with the style and flair of the mid-1900s. The staging incorporates theatrical elements including dry ice fog, flashing lights, and pyrotechnics.
