Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story
About the Show:
Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story, s a fresh take on the holiday classic as a perfect blend of holiday cheer and spine-tingling excitement that will resonate with audiences of all ages. An inspired adaptation of the holiday classic, reimagined through highly theatrical storytelling. Actors whimsically transform from narrators into characters, and beloved carols are sung to alternately joyful and sinister effect.
