Interview: Theatre in the Park's Ira David Wood III Opens Up About Family, His Legacy, Christmas, and Scrooge ImageThis time of year, Ira David Wood III breaks out the tophat and revisits the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future as Scrooge in the Theatre in the Park production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

It's a role he says is like visiting an old friend, which is not surprising because he's been playing it for over 40 years.

Hear what he has to say in this heartfelt interview about his family, his legacy, and a Christmas Eve tradition he shares with thousands.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL runs December 5th - 9th at The Duke Energy Center in Downtown Raleigh and December 12th - 16th at the Durham Performing Arts Center. For more information visit: https://www.theatreinthepark.com/whats-on/ira-david-wood-iiis-a-christmas-carol-2018.html.
