A Christmas Carol

Tickets: $19.00 for Adults & $15.00 for Children 12 & Under

Pasadena
Theatre Company is renewing its own holiday tradition of presenting "A
Christmas Carol" for a total of six performances at Chesapeake Arts
Center. "Set in Victorian London, "A Christmas
Carol" tells the story of stingy merchant Scrooge, who chases carolers
away in the plays opening scene and in another Christmas Eve scene
counts the number of coals his beleaguered clerk, Bob Cratchit, burns to
take the bitter chill from his office. Dickens
depicts the abuses of industrialization, including merchants' greed and
inhumane working conditions, with children being forced into harsh labor
and deprived of education. The message of "A
Christmas Carol" is that miserly Scrooge is redeemable as he learns the
lessons taught by visiting spirits of past, present and future
Christmases, undergoing a transformation that enables him to celebrate
the holiday. In the process, Scrooge also learns how to live the other
364 days of the year and realizes that his miserliness may have deprived
and impoverished him as much as it has others."  PTC
will be offering a beautiful Christmas concert prior to the
production under the direction of David Merrill. What a fabulous way to
jump-start your holiday season with not only a concert but a fabulous
production of "A Christmas Carol".  We sincerely hope that you will join
us in the festivities by attending this year's Holiday Classic!
