The Encore Repertory Company's production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is a timeless holiday tradition for all audiences.

Charles Dickens' classic tale, A Christmas Carol has been a holiday classic for years. The crotchety Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by four spirits urging him to change his miserable and greedy ways and learn the true meaning of Christmas. Scrooge's colorful journey full of dance and song is a magical treat for the whole family. 

This performance brings back Encore Repertory veterans in familiar roles, but also will serve as a debut for many exciting Encore Repertory Company newcomers!

Directed by Ashley Dougan, this year's Christmas Carol as presented by The Encore Repertory Company, promises to be a thoroughly entertaining holiday event that is perfect for the entire family. 

This production will not be a carbon copy of last year's performance, but a fresh take on Dickens' story as interpreted by Ashley and the Encore crew. In a recent interview held between Ashley and a local newspaper, she revealed why her version of A Christmas Carol will be different then version previously seen at the Stadium.

"The other versions that I have seen of A Christmas Carol only show the end result of Scrooge's life revealing only that he is a wretched old man without showing how he became that way. In other versions, during the Fan and Young Scrooge scene, Fan makes quick references to how their father seemed to have a grudge against Scrooge, but we never really find out why. So in my version I will actually reveal to the audience why he was been sent away to school and why his relationship with his father was the way it is. To help illustrate this, I've added a scene with his father which shows how Scrooge started to follow his father's path, even if he didn't want to, and show how Scrooge begins to repeat the cycle with his nephew Fred. 

There has been a lot of buzz about this being a "darker" version then what is regularly presented at the Stadium; however, my version will ultimately culminate in the happy and heartwarming story that everyone loves. To create a slightly "darker" feel, we will be using a few special effects, sound cues and special stage entrances, BUT DON'T WORRY, this is no Tim Burton's Christmas Carol!"

Come see the Stadium's annual production of A Christmas Carol the first time, or continue a family tradition by returning for Encore's latest dazzling performance of the classic tale!
