This is the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge as he is forced from his “Bah! Humbug!” lifestyle to look at his past, present, and future in order to turn his life around before it’s too late! This swift adaptation of the Christmas classic remains true to the original story by incorporating portions of the Dickens' novella not usually seen on the stage or screen. Infused with a myriad of popular Christmas carols and a subtle twists of humor, the morality tale of Ebenezer Scrooge is once again alive with holiday spirit.
