Plaza Theatrical presents A Christmas Carol
(Family Performance)

Friday, December 21, 2012 at 7:00 p.m.
At the Library Auditorium

Based on Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, this new musical treatment presents the grand story of hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas. After visits from three ghosts – of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future – Scrooge is shocked into realizing his lack of humanity affects not just himself, but everyone around him. Filled with beloved characters such as the happy Cratchit family, their crippled son Tiny Tim, and Scrooge’s old partner Marley, the whole family will delight in the pageantry of this traditional holiday tale. This performance will be held in the Community Library’s auditorium. A library card is not required.
