Show Info	Experience Charles Dickens' beloved A Christmas Carol as it might have been heard in the golden age of radio. Anthony E. Palerm's faithful adaptation brings Dickens' unforgettable characters to life-from Ebenezer Scrooge and the spirits of Christmas to the beloved Tiny Tim-with live actors, old-fashioned Foley sound effects, haunting ghostly music, and Victorian Christmas carols. From rattling chains and ringing bells to the warmth of familiar holiday melodies, audiences can watch-and hear-the magic being created onstage in this imaginative retelling of a timeless story of Christmas, memory, and redemption. At just 90 minutes, this festive, spirited production is a perfectly sized holiday experience for audiences of all ages-and ideal for the whole family.
