For almost 30 years, the Alliance Theatre has ushered in the holiday spirit with a production of
A Christmas Carol. Based on Charles Dickensâ 19th century classic, the play takes the curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge through the Christmases of his past, present, and future in order to teach him an important lesson about compassion and charity.
In a year addled with unprecedented challengesânamely, the Covid-19 pandemicâartistic director Susan Booth says that Dickensâ story stands the test of time and that the company was determined to find a way to lift peopleâs spirits this holiday season.
