Celebrate the holiday season with a fresh take on Dickens’ most beloved classic! A Cripple Creek Christmas Carol brings the timeless tale of redemption, generosity, and the true spirit of Christmas to life in a way you’ve never seen before.

Set in the historic gold-mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, this adaptation follows real-life town founder Bob Womack as he calls upon Charles Dickens himself to help save a greedy mine owner named Gooch. Just like Scrooge, Gooch is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future in a journey that transforms his heart and reminds us all of the power of love and community.

Filled with original songs, heartfelt comedy, and the magic of Dickens’ classic story, A Cripple Creek Christmas Carol is more than a show—it’s a holiday tradition for the whole family.

A CRIPPLE CREEK CHRISTMAS CAROL was first produced by Arthur’s Realm Productions in 2002 at The Butte Opera House in Cripple Creek, CO.
