A Christmas Carol

Ovation Recommended!

Grove Theater Center

is proud to present this heartwarming adaptation of the classic holiday story. It's a production Charles Dickens would heartily approve - touching, fast-paced, entertaining and using only his original words!

Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Marley's Ghost, Scrooge and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future all make their appearance as three talented actors guide us through the story sometimes as narrators, sometimes as storytellers, and sometimes as characters, but always using the actual words of Charles Dickens.

Recommended for ages 9 to 99!
