Hale Center Theater Orem to Welcome Back A CHRISTMAS CAROL for the Holidays

Come join Hale Center Theater Orem's annual holiday tradition by enjoying the classic story A CHRISTMAS CAROL as we've adapted it to the stage. A tale of both humor and heart, Charles Dickens' written work takes on new life as the audience watches the miser EBENEZER SCROOGE have a change of heart with the help of three Christmas ghosts. It's a holiday treat you won't want to miss!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a musical adapted from Charles Dickens' novella with traditional carols and original music by Cody Hale.

Ebenezer Scrooge will be played by veteran actor David Morgan. David Morgan received his undergraduate degree in Theatre Studies from BYU. He graduated from the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver with a Master of Fine Arts in Acting and did his internship with the Denver Center Theatre Co. David has worked with the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts, Commonwealth Theatre Co. in Minnesota, Tuacahn Theatre, Provo Theatre Company, Actors Repertory Theatre Ensemble, Gold Rush Productions, and the Hale Center Theater Orem. David has directed at the College of Eastern Utah and Utah Valley University as well as taught with the Oswego Theatre Institute in New York. David teaches in the BFA Acting program at BYU.
