A Christmas Carol - The Tradition Continues! The hit musical comedy adaptation, now celebrating its 41st anniversary! One of the Triangle's most beloved Christmas traditions will once again be featured at DPAC this December for five shows only. Ira David Wood III's hit musical comedy adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic will run December 17th through 20th, 2015 in Durham. Last year's shows at DPAC sold out, so plan on getting your tickets early.

"Theatre in the Park's A Christmas Carol has always been the most fun, entertaining, and heartwarming holiday event in the region. As a Triangle native, my family's annual trip to see this show is one of our favorite Christmas traditions. And we try to guess what the new jokes will be! Since performances expanded to DPAC in 2008, I am thrilled that more fans get to experience Ira David Wood III's classic story each year," says DPAC's Director of Marketing, Emily McLoughlin.

Tickets for the Durham performances go on sale this Friday, July 24 at noon:

Ira David Wood IV will play the role of Scrooge at the December 19th 2:00 PM matinee.
