On Christmas Eve 2014, a young lesbian couple juggles love, capitalism, faith and family recipes; while in 1949, two young men try not to fall in love while producing a radio play of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Timelines blur as Scrooge and his unearthly visitors begin to merge and mingle amongst our two stories.

"A Christmas Carol" will be the inaugural production at the newly renovated theater space at the historic St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
