Directed & Choreographed by Reginald Kelly

December 8 - 18 (8 performances) at Shea's 710 Theatre

A musical filled with several soul stirring songs based loosely on the Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. All those Dickensian characters dancing, jiving and swinging to a Harlem beat? Right on! Scrooge is a Harlem slumlord about to foreclose an apartment house, a recreation center and a church when his late partner and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future take him on their rounds. He comes upon his own grave after watching tiny Tim's burial procession and he's reformed. There's one addition to the classic tale - a rousing gospel number in a Baptist church.
