Brand new adaption by acclaimed author A.S. Peterson

Directed by Liesl Cruz

Christmas Eve falls over Victorian London—but for Ebenezer Scrooge, it’s just another excuse for idleness and waste. Bitter and miserly, he scoffs at generosity, rejects joy, and would rather support prisons than feed the poor or care for his loyal apprentice.

But when the clock strikes midnight, Scrooge is confronted by a chilling procession of spirits who force him to face the shadows of his past, the harshness of his present, and the terrifying course of his future. 

This stunning new adaptation by Nashville author and playwright, A.S. Peterson (The Wingfeather Tales, The Hiding Place, Frankenstein) is both faithful and fresh—a richly atmospheric retelling of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic. This production reminds us all that the past does not define us, the future is still unwritten, and the present is a gift worth sharing.

Join us this holiday season at the Emmett Hook Center for a heartwarming and unforgettable journey of redemption, hope, and the true spirit of Christmas.
