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.

Shea's 710 Theatre is intimate 625-seat theatre presenting a wide variety of live performing arts including plays produced in collaboration with local and regional theatre companies as well as select plays from New York City. The theatre is one of three operated by Shea's Performing Arts Center.
