A Noise Within (ANW), the acclaimed classical repertory theatre company, continues the cherished holiday tradition of presenting its well-loved production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol this year, onstage for the sixth holiday season. This time-honored tale of forgiveness plays 17 performances only, Friday, December 1 through Saturday, December 23, 2017 (press opening Saturday, December 2 at 8:00 pm). Post show, audience members are invited to enjoy a cup of cider and take photos with the cast.

Producing Artistic Directors Geoff Elliott, who adapted the play from the novella, and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott co-direct this masterpiece about the redemptive and transformative power of love. In this production, hailed as "enchantment" by LA Weekly, Dickens' poignant tale is matched by evocative original music by composer Ego Plum.

"Remounting our acclaimed presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol allows families to take a supremely theatrical journey and celebrate the transformative power of forgiveness during the holidays," says Elliott. Rodriguez-Elliott adds, "Ebenezer Scrooge's rebirth from miserly curmudgeon to the epitome of love and generosity affirms our faith in the potent goodness of humanity during this beloved time of year."
