Synopsis:
A company of traveling players are about to enact the Dickens story. The
gruff stage manager and prop boy check the show's props, which are shabby
and third rate, but the troupe improvises by creating a magical world of
make-believe. The acting troupe soon discovers that the actors playing
Scrooge and Tiny Tim have abandoned the tour; but the show must go on, and
the prop boy eagerly volunteers for the part of Tim while the cynical stage
manager must be forcibly drafted to play the old miser. The troupe proceeds
to make their way through the tale, creating fog, snow, fire and ghosts
through mime, imagination and wonderful visual effects. The rag tag players
(including the stage manager and prop boy) quickly become the characters of
the story, and we are pulled into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge. The
Christmas Spirits work their magic and warm the heart of Scrooge, as well
as the old stage manager. This play is an inventive telling of the famous
classic that is sure to warm everyone's hearts just in time for Christmas!
