Scrooge is back in all of his humbug glory!

“Jadhwani’s well-crafted adaptation combines the famous dialogue that audiences have become accustomed to and has weaved more intricate and lyrical phrases from the novel into the piece. Thus elevating the experience that the audience is given…there is no doubt that it will bring joy, merriment, and entertainment to all who experience it.”
Broadway World

A Christmas Carol is a shared celebration. A moment to reconnect with loved ones, to support local theatre, and to uplift the joy and generosity that make the season so special...The return of such a landmark production feels like a welcome sign of renewed tradition and creative momentum.”
