A Christmas Carol at Lake Country Playhouse

A Christmas Carol
Lyrics & Adaptation by Michael Koscinski
Music by Ernest Brusubardis

Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy and cantankerous man, dismisses Christmas cheer with a grumpy "Bah! Humbug!" On Christmas Eve, he is visited by three ghosts who guide him through his Past, Present, and Future, leading to his transformation and a joyful "Merry Christmas."

The heart of the story lies in its supporting characters. The Cratchit family, with Bob's optimism, Mrs. Cratchit's warmth, and Tiny Tim's hopeful spirit, embodies the true spirit of Christmas. Fred, Scrooge's cheerful nephew, highlights the power of family and love. The ghosts reveal poignant memories, joyful celebrations, and the importance of compassion and change.

Presented through special arrangement with playwright Michael Koscinski and music by Ernest Brusubardis, this is the 14th annual production of Charles Dickens' beloved holiday classic. A Christmas Carol celebrates love, hope, and resilience, making it the perfect holiday experience.
