A Dickens of a Christmas is the classic tale of covetous miser Ebenezer Scrooge, brought to life with a powerful score and a Dickensian-style script that is sure to impress. When visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, Scrooge is forced to see the coldness of his own humbug ways, and learns to honour Christmas in his heart. Characters include your favourites like Jacob Marley, Bob Cratchit, Mister and Missus Fezziwig, an inspirational Tiny Tim, and many others---enough for all of your theatrical students. Guaranteed to be a moving 40-minute holiday presentation or program!
