ORDER TICKETS NOW FOR “A CHRISTMAS CAROL” @ CHATHAM COMMUNITY PLAYERS

This show is a real winner! Every 2 years, they bring it back with new staging and new actors! So it’s never the same twice and always the same 24 times! I wouldn’t bring little kids to see it (it is, after all, a ghost story), but those 10 and older will enjoy it.

In this version, produced exclusively at the Chatham Playhouse since 1988, Dickens serves not only as narrator, but also as a character that befriends Scrooge and walks beside him during his life-changing journey through memories and premonitions.

While the script remains true to the original story, the playwright also pulled from letters that Dickens wrote to family and friends. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge has become one of the most beloved of all holiday tales, and this unique production also reminds us that Dickens’ inspiration for penning the story goes much deeper.
