Park Square continues its 41st season next month with Tom Mula's irreverent take on Charles Dickens's immortal tale, Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol. The redemption of the iconic curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge is well known, but whatever happened to his equally coldhearted business partner? Stuck in perdition for his vile misdeeds in life, Jacob Marley has one shot to redeem himself for eternity, aided by his own personal demon, who may turn out to be a faithful friend or a fiendish foe. Park Square Artistic Director Richard Cook directs Dane Stauffer* in this humorous and heartwarming tale of salvation and deliverance. Citybeat called the play 'delectably zany...inspired theatre...gives the audience cause to ache, and to laugh, and in the end, to exalt.'
