11th Annual SCROOGE: THE MUSICAL is Coming to North Texas Performing Arts This December

NTPA (North Texas Performance Arts) will present Scrooge the Musical December 8-19, 2021. This is NTPA's eleventh year producing the beloved musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol. The first week of shows will be held at Courtyard Theatre in Plano and the second week of shows will be held at Rodenbaugh Theatre inside Willow Bend Center of the Arts. This will be the final show of NTPA's 30th anniversary series.
Two special shows will be Gift to the Community performances. NTPA has gifted the entire house on two Wednesdays to charitable organizations to give back to the community. "The Gift to the Community performances are my favorite holiday tradition at NTPA," says CEO Darrell Rodenbaugh. "It is a beautiful real-life example of our 10th Character, our guiding principles at NTPA, to Love One Another. Over the years we've heard stories that for many of our attendees, this was the only 'Christmas' they would experience. It's a true joy to be able to bring a little holiday magic and a beautiful story of redemption to our local community." Santa will attend both Gift to the Community performances.
Tickets are $20 for general admission and $30 for premium seats. Now through December 19th, NTPA is offering a Holiday Package: tickets to Scrooge, Disaster (March 11-20), Urinetown (April 22-May 1) for $50. To purchase a Holiday Package for yourself or as a gift, visit ntparep.org.
