20th Anniversary Season

Coming Up

The Last Christmas Carol

Brodwyn Branson, the Scrooge-like director of a local children's theater, certainly doesn't think the holidays are any excuse for yet another production of A Christmas Carol. But just as his humbug-ish attitude is beginning to rub off on his young actors and threatens to ruin the show, he is visited by a series of unconventional Christmas spirits. Branson comes to understand that the message of the classic Dickens tale is every bit as relevant today as it ever was.  A witty script, delightful characters, and unforgettable songs make The Last Christmas Carol the perfect show to put any Scrooge in the holiday spirit.
