Houston's seasonal favorite that the Houston Press described as having "Spectacular London sets ...the inimitable Dickens' tale - spiced with the usual fog and an unusual twist on the ghosts past, present and future." A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story of Christmas returns this year with a re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic story, that follows Ebenezer Scrooge's journey with the three ghostly spirits that visit him on Christmas Eve.  A Christmas Carol instills a powerful message about redemption and the spirit of the holiday season, through a dazzling production featuring a cast of more than 30 characters. Recommended for general audiences, children six and older.

This year, Alley Associate Director James Black directs this colorful, comical, and music-filled telling of Charles Dickens' "ghostly little book."  Alley Theatre Artist Jeffrey Bean reprises his role as Ebenezer Scrooge and David Rainey assumes the roles of Mrs. Dilber and Jacob Marley.  The Alley Theatre began producing an annual production of A Christmas Carol in 1988.  Michael Wilson's adaptation is an imaginative re-telling of the classic story.  In 1990, Wilson - in his first directing project for the Alley - adapted and directed a version of the story that became a national standout for its dancing apparitions and Wizard of Oz like storyline.

Since its inception, the production has developed into a crowd-pleasing holiday favorite, delighting more than 33,000 individuals last holiday season.  Dickens' classic tale is a heart-warming and bone-chilling story for audiences of all ages.  Through encounters with ghosts - including his late business partner Jacob Marley - Scrooge learns what ill fate lies in store for him if he continues on his greedy and heartless course.  An amazing story and an unforgettable theatrical experience, A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story of Christmas fills audiences with warm sentiments of the holiday season.
