Charles Dickens’ tale of the redemption of Ebenezer Scrooge is brought comically to life by a cast of comedic characters.
With authentic costumes, unique special effects and “liberties” taken by the actors, it is an evening’s entertainment that is both hilarious and touching.
A Christmas Carol is a unique audience participation event with the actors performing in and around the audience. The actors select audience members to play roles from Marley’s ghost to Tiny Tim (often using the largest audience member).
Charles Dickens himself narrates the famous tale and controls the madness of the other actors who portray the numerous characters in the play. The audience is taken on a roller coaster of emotion and fun.
This production can be done anywhere with the simple and self-contained use of props and set. A Christmas Carol is a perfect theatre piece that brings a classic to life with the audience not only watching, but actually experiencing this wonderful holiday story.
The cast is made up of 5 actors, with everyone except Scrooge and Dickens playing multiple characters.
The show can be played in one continuous 45 minute act, or it can be broken into scenes and played between dinner courses.
Costs for A Christmas Carol includes 5 actors, props, set, rehearsal, and travel.
