BRANFORD, CT – The holiday tradition returns! Legacy Theatre’s enchanting musical adaptation of the classic tale by Charles Dickens, adapted and directed by Artistic Director Keely Baisden Knudsen, illuminates the journey of one Ebenezer Scrooge and his guided self-reflection amidst the Christmas Season in 1800s England. A Christmas Carol has pleasantly haunted generations of audiences around the globe, and Legacy invites audiences to make merry and ring in the holidays with their annual acclaimed rendition of the famous story. The third annual return holiday engagement of Legacy Theatre’s A Christmas Carol will run November 29-December 10, with performances Wednesdays through Sundays: Wednesdays at 7pm, Thursdays-Saturdays at 2pm & 7pm, and Sundays at 2pm.

Legacy is pleased to announce that James Andreassi, founder and artistic director emeritus of New Haven’s renowned Elm Shakespeare Company, will return to the production for the third year as Ebenezer Scrooge. Andreassi has performed at theatres across the country, from New York Theatre Workshop to American Repertory Theatre, Cleveland Playhouse to Long Wharf Theatre, and also boasts an impressive teaching resume at universities such as Yale and Quinnipiac. Of his past performances in the role, it was said that “James Andreassi is great from the moment he takes the stage, and he makes Scrooge’s transformation from a miser to a generous man feel natural and believable” (Zander Opper, Talkin’ Broadway).
