It isn t the same old A Christmas Carol everyone has seen a dozen times or more.
Artistic Director Josh Harris said the story is centered around a family named Caroll who gather every year at Christmas and perform A Christmas Carol. As the play opens, the audience meets the Carolls at the end of year in which the family has suffered three different deaths. It is how this family is able to gather together after loss and show each other the true meaning of Christmas and the true meaning of redemption, Harris said.
