A Christmas Carol

In December of 2024, The Civic Theater Project created a brand new production of “A Christmas Carol” as a present for the community. We studied

the original novella, script adaptations and film versions, and

looked to our own community for inspiration. We put 45 people

into the show because that’s how many signed up to audition.


The reason for telling this particular story – about wealth

inequality, redemption, and the profound effect our actions have

on others – is simple, and in keeping with the mission of the Civic

Theater Project.

If a greedy and money-hoarding old man can radically change his

mind about what and who he values, then any one of us could

potentially be profoundly transformed–by simply paying attention

to the reality of our neighbors’ lives.

There is so much beautiful poetry in this broadly loved story but

maybe the most powerful sentiment, which is uttered repeatedly

by the spirits who visit Scrooge, is just one word: LOOK!
