About the Show...

"Scrooge? I have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse
than I was? Impossible!"

Thus begins Jacob Marley's frightening, funny, smart and ultimately
exhiirating journey to redemption. Marley is trapped in a desolate post
mortem neitherworld, fettered with the chains of greed and envy he forged in
life. Relying on the power of his own imagination, and with the assistance
of a personal 'hell-sprite', Marley can only secure his release by
personally stage managing the redemption of his business partner, Ebeneezer
Scrooge. Along the way, Marley and the audience are confronted with profound
questions about the interplay of love, forbearance and imagination in our
own lives. 

Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol played for two seasons at Chicago's Goodman
Theatre. The show was nominated for four Joseph Jefferson Awards, and
received an After Dark Award and the Goodman School of Drama's Cunningham
Prize for Playwriting. The play has since been performed to rave reviews and
standing ovations in theatres across the country, including: Cincinnati
Shakespeare, American Stage Festival, Delaware Rep, Bristol Riverside
Theatre, Stages Repertory in Houston, North Coast Rep, Third Avenue
Playhouse, Sage Theatre Group, and the 1894 Opera House. For seven seasons,
it has been broadcast nationally on NPR.
