A Christmas Carol

Guaranteed to enchant and entertain young and old, Bah Humbug Productions and Parkland Theatre proudly present the Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol," with several shows throughout December at Parkland Theatre.

Brilliantly adapted for the stage by Nick Schneider and directed by J.W. Morrissette, the play includes original music by Musical Director Tim Schirmer; original song lyrics by Seamus Reilly and Cheri Coons; and staging by Dallas Street.

This enduring tale features all the characters we know so well: the Ghosts of Christmas and Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and, of course, the curmudgeonly miser Ebenezer Scrooge. Live and onstage, with music, dancing, traditional costumes, and dazzling special effects, "A Christmas Carol" will delight the eye and lift the spirit!

Performances are at 7 p.m. on December 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22; and at 3 p.m. on December 8, 9, 15, 16, and 22. Arrive early to enjoy hot cider and doughnuts from Curtis Orchard!

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $8 for students and children; a special $40 family rate for up to 5 family members is also available. There are no opening-night, half-price, or group discounts with this production.
