A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
Adapted by David Edgar
Matsqui Centennial Auditorium

One frigid Christmas Eve, the miserly Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley.
Marley informs the narcistic Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits over as many nights. As the spirits confront the misanthrope one by one with images of the past, present and future, a magical journey of the heart, mind and spirit develops, and Scrooge discovers the true meaning of the Christmas season.
Featuring a full cast of performers, this Dickensian holiday classic will bring extra cheer to your Christmas season.
