Open your heart to Charles Dickens\u2019 classic tale of one man\u2019s ultimate redemption.<\/strong><\/p>\n A Christmas Carol is a perfect gift of theater for children and adults of all ages. Celebrate the season with the ones you love.<\/p>\n Gerald Freedman reflects on his role as adapter and\u00a0director of Charles Dickens\u2019 A Christmas Carol:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Our production takes place in a middle-class London home. It is Christmas Eve, 1864, Twenty years after Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol. As the Cleveland family sits down to the traditional reading of the story, the youngest child, a boy, begins to imagine the story that is being told to him. We see the play from his point of view.<\/p>\n Dickens called the story a Ghost Story, and we have tried to remain true to this description, while at the same time creating an entertaining piece of theater.<\/p>\n Scrooge is a young man born into poverty who grows up distorted into thinking money is everything. He rejects his spiritual side and his heart becomes small and cold. Through the course of the story, he learns that he can change. The Spirits show him how loving people were in the past, how needy they are in the present, and that the results of his current pattern of behavior are to die alone without family, friends or love.<\/p>\n I think Dickens is essentially saying it is never too later to change — not only yourself, but the world. One good deed, if allowed to, can and will spread through the world.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ header_font_size=”16px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”right” custom_margin=”||5px|” use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”5488,1602,1603″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_layout=”dark” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ header_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_text_color=”#474747″ body_text_color=”#474747″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width_tablet=”50px” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A CHRISTMAS\u00a0CAROL Written by: Charles Dickens SHOW DETAILS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Performances: November 28 – December 21, 2025.<\/p>\n Tickets: $36-107.
