The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge comes to Footlighters Theater

It’s the Trial of the Century! One Christmas ago, after a whirlwind ride through time, Ebenezer Scroogewas redeemed…but then what? Incredibly, a year after his miraculous transformation, Ebenezer Scrooge is back to his old ways. This time he’s suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping and a host of other “crimes” including emotional distress! Join us for The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge as they relive that famous night in question with all of the characters from Charles Dickens’ beloved “A Christmas Carol” taking the stand.
