Ms. Scroogeworth: A Christmas Musical at Riverside Missionary Baptist Church

Originally debuting in December 2023, Ms. Scroogeworth: A Christmas Musical stands as the first known Black female-led and Black female-written, directed, and produced reimagining of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, not just in America, but in the world.

Ms. Scroogeworth: A Christmas Musical blends timeless themes with a fresh cultural perspective, offering a vibrant celebration of transformation, community, and joy.

This original, gender-flipped reimagining of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol brings the classic tale into present-day Memphis, where Ebony Scroogeworth, a sharp, successful businesswoman, has buried her joy beneath ambition and isolation. When she is visited by the Timeweavers of her Past, Present, and Future, she must confront the cost of her choices and rediscover the true meaning of the holiday season.

Told through original, soul-inspired music, quick-witted humor, and heartfelt storytelling, Ms. Scroogeworth invites audiences into a powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, compassion, and second chances, delivering a message that resonates across generations and cultures.
