Tonight changes everything.
Ebenezer Scrooge's last chance is one night and three spirits. It's a life-changing ride through past, present and future as he learns what it means to be human. Nineteen actors bring Dickens' classic Holiday tale to life in a dazzling new production brimming with bold acting, daring design and spine tingling special effects. Our new Holiday tradition for the Triad is a ghostly tale of Yule-tide cheer, gracious redemption and heart-warming hope for the whole family.
