That night, three spirits carry Scrooge through time \u2014 into the shadows of his past, the fragile realities of the present and the lonely fate that awaits if he doesn&#8217;t have a change of heart. Featuring original music and bursts of festive joy, this faithful adaptation of Charles Dickens\u2019 classic novella brings the streets of Victorian London to life, celebrating the transformative power of compassion and second chances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Things to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Faithful to the Dickens tale, Lavina Jadhwani&#8217;s adaptation carefully tracks the moments when Scrooge becomes a willing participant in his own transformation, from the nostalgia of seeing his boyhood school to the fear that Death will claim him before he can act on his change of heart.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Approximately 315 props<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">appear<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">in the show, including 15 lanterns, 10 tombstones, 37 presents, 48 nonedible food props and a few edible items for actors to nibble on.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Run time is approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes with intermission.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Content Warnings\/Age Recommendations<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Contains loud noises, strobe lights, haze and fog.\u202fThere are also descriptions of illness and death.

This is remarkable, because each of these parts of his life carried a lot of pain\u2026perhaps even more than happiness. Why do you think living in the Past, Present and Future becomes important to him? Are there ways in which you do this as well, in your own life and community?<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Accessibility<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Many performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating, assistive listening, sensory ear plugs, ASL interpretation, open captioning, or audio description, among other options.
