A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol
A classic Christmas story for the whole family. A down-on-its-luck theater company has to produce its annual Dickens play without a Scrooge (quit), a Tiny Tim (fired) or a chain for Marley’s Ghost (lost). How they find a way to make the show go on transforms them all as they invent their way through Christmas Past, Present and Future. A fast, fresh, moving, and family-friendly 60 minute classic.

World premiere: Mark Taper Forum, 1977.

Most recent: The Alley Theater, Houston, TX., 2021

Press: …the choice of the Alley Theater to do this script was a good one for where theatre is today. We are all coming back to our lives, picking up the pieces of where we left off before a pandemic separated us into isolation. Now the hearts that will remain are the hearts who have shown up again, today, without a chain, without lead characters, but with a willingness to figure it out together and in love. That is the spirit of theater. Broadway World, Dec. 2021
