A New Christmas Carol For 2024!

The festive classic to end all classics, no holiday season is complete without taking your seats for a showing of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, and this year, Commonwealth Shakespeare Company invites you to join them for a brand new production, destined to be an unmissable holiday tradition! Be swept up in the glorious tale of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge (Will Lyman) and his transformative supernatural Christmas Eve visitations as this sumptuous new staging from Steve Wargo, with direction from Diane Adams McDowell.

What Is The Story?

Ebenezer Scrooge doesn't see the point of letting his employees have a day off for Christmas, not even kind Bob Cratchit, whose son Tiny Tim is very sick. Eventually, he is convinced and retires to his room to pass Christmas Eve as he usually does, alone. But this Christmas is different. He has a visitor for a change, the wretched soul of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Doomed to wander the earth for eternity for his sins in life, Marley warns Scrooge of three impending visitations.

In a flurry of fear, he meets the gentle Ghost of Christmas Past, the jolly Ghost of Christmas Present, and the terrifying Ghost of Christmas to Come, all of whom wish to teach him a lesson...
