OUR 84TH SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
JACOB MARLEY’S CHRISTMAS CAROL, by Tom Mula
Opening on December 9th and closing on December 21st, 2022
“Marley was dead, to begin with…” — and what happens to Ebenezer Scrooge’s old business partner after that? Chained and shackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. To escape his own chains, Marley must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey of laughter and terror, redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened; but not before Marley—in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving story—discovers his own.
