Center REP has assembled an award-winning team of artists for this all-new production of the treasured holiday classic. In this heartfelt and exceedingly lively new adaptation, a young Tim Cratchit makes a wish on a candle, invoking a series of ghostly visitors to the bedside of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. With a “humbug!” on his breath, the curmudgeon is whisked away on a journey of awakening. Celebrated playwright Harrison David Rivers’ tender retelling highlights the necessity of caring for the most vulnerable among us while delivering a profound love letter to Dickens’ beloved story. Immersing the audience in a dazzling digital design, nationally acclaimed director Jared Mezzocchi (Center REP’s FROGGY) brings Victorian London and its netherworld to vivid life in this time-honored tale that asks us to contemplate the value of empathy over financial profits. Don’t miss the Bay Area’s grandest telling of Dickens’ classic in this not-to-be-missed premiere production.
