A Christmas Carol


  • St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts 310 St. (map)

This holiday season, rediscover the magic of A Christmas Carol in a unique theatrical adaptation by local writer and artist Rebecca Russell.

Originally written by Charles Dickens, the beloved story follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, a man whose bitterness and greed have left little room in his heart for kindness or celebration. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, who warns him that he must change his ways. Over the course of the night, three spirits (the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come) guide Scrooge on a journey through memories, present-day joys and struggles, and a chilling glimpse of the future that awaits if he does not change. Through these encounters, Scrooge discovers the true meaning of generosity, compassion, and the spirit of Christmas.

In this stage adaptation, traditional Christmas carols are performed a cappella, allowing the voices of the performers to fill the theatre with the warmth and beauty of the season. Adding to the magic, the three spirits appear through beautifully crafted shadow puppetry, creating a striking and atmospheric theatrical experience that captures both the mystery and wonder of the story.

Heartwarming, inventive, and rich with the sounds of beloved carols, this production invites audiences of all ages to celebrate the season and reflect on the power of kindness, community, and redemption.
