Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol

Set in the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, this musical reimagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the greedy owner of a mining company town. As a Christmas Eve snowstorm nears, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who guide him to discover love and the spirit of the season. The production blends classic Dickensian storytelling with original songs by Dolly Parton.
