Based on the work by Charles DickensAdapted by Amanda Petefish-Schrag and Ben Schrag - Original Music by Ben Schrag
Directed by Amanda Petefish-Schrag
This new adaptation frames Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol within the rich tradition of the Victorian ghost story. A dynamic and haunting chorus drives the action, while large‑scale puppetry brings Scrooge and his spectral visitors to life. Blending ensemble storytelling with innovative design, the production centers the power of community—asking what we owe one another as we shape our shared present and imagine a more hopeful future.
Content Advisory: Recommended for ages 11+. This adaptation embraces the darker Victorian ghost story elements and may be too intense for younger audiences.
