Dickens' Holiday classic gets a modern makeover in this hilarious (but still heartwarming!) updating of one of the world's best-loved stories.

Eb Scrooge is a modern American businessman, a cold fish with a cold heart and no great love for Christmas until one fateful Christmas Eve when his past, present and future come calling.  Seeing himself as others see him is a powerful antidote to his curmudgeonly ways, and at the end of the night, he’ll have a new outlook on the meaning of the Holidays (though he’ll still wonder what he was thinking regarding his wardrobe back in the 70s...).

All of the well-known characters from the story are here on stage, but spun into modern incarnations, with jokes that will entertain kids from 1 to 92. Fast-paced and fun, this production is used by some schools' Language Arts departments as a living example of free-adaptation. Others simply book it as a holiday treat. In any case, be sure to book it early, as available dates have a tendency to go fast!

Christmas Carol is also available as a "field trip show" at the Museum of Science and Industry and Enchanted Castle and in Milwaukee at the Zelazzo Center - to make a booking for your group for one of those performances, follow this link to the Cinema Academy site and book online!
