Director Matthew Ford comments on the show, "Our production of A Christmas Carol is seeking to bring the well-known, and much beloved, characters of this classic tale to life in a manner that takes us a step outside our comfort zone. Dickens himself called the tale "A Ghost Story of Christmas" and our goal is to let the phantasmagoric out to play with the yuletide cheer and tell the old tale in a way that brings new surprises."

Performances will be held at the Hershey Area Playhouse: 830 Cherry Drive, Hershey, PA 17033. Tickets can be purchased by phone at 717.533.8525 or online at www.HersheyAreaPlayhouse.com.
