North Shore Music Theatre Presents 30th Annual A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Bill Hanney's North Shore Music Theatre will present the area's largest and most beloved production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL for its 30th Annual Production.

This award-winning, original musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic story was created solely for North Shore Music Theatre in 1989 and cannot be seen anywhere else. The show will play 15 performances from Thursday, December 2 thru Thursday, December 23, 2021. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is sponsored by American Family Care, Urgent Care.



"This year marks the 30th annual production of A Christmas Carol. With everything we have been going thru these past few years, I am sure that even though the show itself has not been changed, it will feel a little different for everyone," said NSMT's owner and producer Bill Hanney. "We will all find new moments in the show that touch our hearts a little differently and messages that will resonate a little louder. The show has been incredibly important to so many over the years and it continues to be an honor to produce something that is such a big part of so many people's holiday traditions."



Based on the Charles Dickens classic, A CHRISTMAS CAROL is an original adaptation by former NSMT Artistic Director Jon Kimbell and members of the NSMT staff, following Ebenezer Scrooge through a series of strange and magical ghostly encounters, where he ultimately discovers the true spirit of the holiday season. With dazzling special effects that have grown even more exciting over time, traditional and original songs, and colorful costumes, A CHRISTMAS CAROL has become a holiday favorite throughout New England having been seen by more than one million people since 1989.
