Crescent City stage's 'a christmas carol' debuts this week

Patrick Barlow, writer of the Broadway and West End hit The 39 Steps, has retold Charles Dickens’ holiday classic, A Christmas Carol.  This thrilling adaptation uses only five actors to bring some of Dickens' most beloved characters to life.  From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mr. Fezziwig, Barlow's A Christmas Carol uses nothing more than some simple props, fresh physicality, and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption.  Witness Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in this highly theatrical adaptation.

A Christmas Carol can be seen in a limited run from December 4th to 15th at the Loyola Marquette Theater. Evening performances are at 7:30 pm with Sunday matinees at 2:30 pm. Tickets are on sale now - click here
