A Christmas Carol- Theatre at Pioneer United Church - Dec 12, 13 & 14

A Christmas Carol:

by Charles Dickens and adapted by William Colgate and Joan Bendon

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.
