A community production by DOWN BY THE BAYS
Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a dose of Charles Dickens’ classic, “A Christmas Carol.” Published in 1834, it tells the famous tale of a miserly old man named Ebenezer Scrooge. Over the course of the story, he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, who give him a new perspective on his life. Ultimately, these encounters teach him the importance of generosity, kindness, and the Christmas spirit.
