A Christmas Carol at Hatbox Theatre

A Christmas Carol: A Capitol Tradition Returns to Hatbox Theatre. 

In this original adaption of the holiday classic, Hatbox Theatre focuses on how the dream-like qualities of Dickens’ beloved ghost story can bring about redemption. Is it “an undigested bit of beef” – as Ebenezer Scrooge himself states in the original story – that leads Scrooge to have bad dreams, or is he really being visited by ghosts intent on helping him redeem himself? Audiences, too, will wonder if they are dreaming when they are immersed in sound, lights, and projections that bring out these eerier aspects of Scrooge’s fateful night.

Jill Pinard of Three Witches Productions takes the helm once again directing the script she adapted for Hatbox in 2016. In creating this script Pinard set out to leave as much of Dickens’ original as undigested as possible. And Concord favorite Eric Hodges returns to play Scrooge for the fourth year.
