The costumes are spectacular and the music, singing and dancing are enchanting. You’ll love this show, and you’ll be wishing that the season lasted just a few days longer. Appropriate for all ages.

FACT: The play is taken from the book whose original title was A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas. The wordy title was later shortened to A Christmas Carol. The book was first published on December 19, 1843 and sold 6,000 copies in the first week. Dickens wrote the book because he was in deep debt and needed a way to generate income to pay off his creditors. It was written during a time when old Christmas traditions were in decline and the book is credited by many with saving these traditions and bringing to light the importance of the holiday and the spirit of this time of year.

It's not too late to plan your company's holiday party.
