Ocean Professional Theatre to Bring EBENEZER, A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL to Atlantic City, 12/12-20

Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City is ringing in the season with EBENEZER, A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL produced by Ocean Professional Theatre Company, at the beautiful and historic Screening Room Theatre in the Ocean Tower. Guests will be taken on an unforgettable journey of glitter, tradition and pure Christmas magic. The production will run for seven performances, December 12-20, 2014.

The musical Christmas carol "EBENEZER" with full original score is based on Charles Dickens' classic Holiday masterpiece. Collaborators Ian Desmond O'Connell for the Book, William Mearns Music, and Rosemary Novellino-Mearns Lyrics, have tried to stay very true to Dickens with some amazing musical numbers, frolicking book and charming story.

"EBENEZER" is warm and rich in its telling of this story, touching and scary, and soul lifting when the lessons of love and belief are revealed. Great for adults and families with humor, singing and a classic story.

Just as Scrooge learns that "Saying Merry Christmas" to someone is a wonderful feeling, we know that you will be inspired and smiling as we follow his journey of celebrating life and relearning to believe in the good. With all your favorite Dickens Characters and an original Score, Ebenezer will not disappoint.
