On Christmas Eve,
Scrooge sits alone counting his cash and is visited by
friendlier, funnier versions of the ghosts of Christmas
Present, Past and Future. The ghosts show Scrooge the errors of
his crotchety ways and help him make an overnight
transformation from grouchy to grateful.
Written for young
audiences with original music and songs, the interactive play
is designed to teach the values of kindness and sharing.
The production is geared to children ages three through seven.
Performances are
Saturdays at 10 a.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. An additional
weekday performancewill be offered on December 10th at 10:30
a.m., plus a special evening performance on Friday, December
11th, at 7 p.m.
On December 20th at 11
a.m., the performers will offer a special “A Christmas Carol Countdown
to Noon!” beginning at 11 a.m. Children in the
audience will celebrate an early New Year's Eve with party
favors and treats following the performance.
Tickets are $15 for
adults, $12 for children ages 1-12, and $5 for infants under 1
year. Seating is general admission, and limited tickets
may be available at door, one hour before performance.
The Scottish Rite Theatre
is located at 207 West 18th Street. For advance
