Canal Park Playhouse, built in 1826, is the perfect place for a haunting. On Halloween eve, Playhouse Artistic Director Jack Coates held a séance with Producer Kipp Osborne and Managing Director Sara Murphy. They channeled the ghost of Charles Dickens, who decreed that his spirit would not rest until he performed A Christmas Carol for the festive season at the landmark theater.

Now the magical story of Ebenezer Scrooge's journey from dour skinflint to a compassionate embodiment of the Holiday spirit comes to life in the intimate and historic Canal Park Playhouse. Based on the Dickens' own material from his historic reading tours throughout the US.
