Based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the production will begin previews Tuesday, December 2, open Friday, December 5, and play a limited engagement through Wednesday, December 21, 2025, at George Street Playhouse, 11 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ.

The creative team includes scenic design by Adam Koch (Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story), costume design by Tristan Raines (Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors), lighting design by Rob Denton (The Lehman Trilogy), original sound design by Ben Fasbender (Driving Miss Daisy), and additional sound design by Artistic Producer Christopher J.

Set in the Garden State, Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Jersey Christmas Show reimagines Dickens’ classic tale with a contemporary, local twist. The fast-paced adaptation retains the familiar ghosts—Past, Present, and Future—while adding a dose of New Jersey humor and holiday spirit.
