9 Works Theatrical presents A Christmas Carol

Christmas lights the stage at Proscenium Theater

THOSE excited for the holiday season have a treat coming this Novembertheater company 9 Works Theatrical is staging A Christmas Carol the Musical starting Nov. 29.

The musical boasts of an ensemble of over 30 actors and closely follows Charles Dickens’ classic novella of the same name. It tells the story of the bitter miser Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by three ghosts that lead him on a journey through his past, present, and future.

Originally shown in 1994, this version of A Christmas Carol is brought to life with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and book by Mike Ockrent and Ahrens.

“We're hoping there’s a Christmas show every year. It doesn’t always have to be this one. I think Rockwell would like that as well,” said director Robbie Guevara at the press launch on Nov. 7.
