One of Orlando’s favorite holiday traditions! The miserly and miserable Ebenezer Scrooge greets each Christmas with a “bah humbug,” until he is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Witness the classic, heartwarming story of Orlando Shakes’ holiday tradition, in a magical and musical spectacle for the whole family.

SPOOKY CONTENT: Ghosts appear in the production. Skeletal figures representing “Ignorance” and “Want” are presented. The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is a giant hollow-faced puppet and may scare very young children.

FOR WHICH AUDIENCES: A Christmas Carol is a holiday story with an uplifting theme of generosity toward others. It is most appropriate for 3rd graders and up.

RATING: If it were a movie, A Christmas Carol would be rated “PG.” Children under 5 will not be admitted to the theater.
