Des Moines Community Playhouse Presents A CHRISTMAS CAROL, 12/13

By:

The Des Moines Community Playhouse's Final Act Ensemble will present an original radio play of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Tuesday, Dec. 13, at 7:00 PM, at The Playhouse. Tickets are $5 for all ages and available at the door or in advance at The Playhouse ticket office, 515-277-6261.

It's Christmas Eve. Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy businessman, is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Marley, who warns him to change his ways. Scrooge is visited by three more ghosts -- the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future -- who show him scenes from his life. After his travels, Scrooge awakes in the morning a changed man: kind and generous.

The Final Act Ensemble performs classic and original radio plays, including commercials and sound effects. Programs are available for youth, adult, and multi-generational audiences.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.

For more information on "A Christmas Carol" and the Final Act Ensemble, contact the Des Moines Community Playhouse at 515-277-6261 or visit www.dmplayhouse.com.
