There is an Ebenezer Scrooge in each of us; it is the lonely part of ourselves that hasn’t yet learnt that love is a thing to share not own. We have been living too long in a credit Scrooged world and this current, global melt down is the consequence of our Ebenezer greed.

Using the classic words of Charles Dickens and underscored with traditional and new, original carols, 22 actors tell an unforgettable story in a way that you’ve never seen before; experience this new CHRISTMAS CAROL and be redeemed…forever.
