'Christmas Carol' returning to Newton

| 21 Oct 2016 | 03:00

"A Christmas Carol" will bring holiday joy to The Newton Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m.
This hour-long musical version of Dickens’ original story brings you classic characters like Scrooge, the three Ghosts of Christmas and Tiny Tim in the beloved tale of redemption and enchantment. Remaining a favorite since Charles Dickens first told his tale in the mid 1800s, "A Christmas Carol" is humorous, touching, and joyous. It will delight children and adults of all ages.
Produced by Sundog Theatre, this presentation stays true to Dickens' original story, adapted for the stage by Cash Tilton with original songs by Susan Mondzak and six professional actors. Children will enjoy the richly drawn characters that pop out of the book and onto the stage. And they'll be thrilled when they see a child chosen from the audience to portray Tiny Tim.
In the guise of a ghost story, literary classic A Christmas Carol explores themes of humanity and materialism. The show celebrates the spirit of the season and leaves audience members singing the joyful songs.
Tickets for A Christmas Carol are all $12. Purchase tickets by visiting www.thenewtontheatre.com or contact the Box Office at 973-383-3700.
