Best known for one of the most produced plays in the US, Souvenir, Stephen Temperley's extensive resume includes work both on and off the stage in the US and UK. Souvenir was produced on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre and directed by Tony Award winner Vivian Matalon.

As an actor, Temperley has worked extensively in regional theatres in the US as well as UK's West End, on TV and in repertory. On Broadway, Temperley was part of the original company of Crazy for You; and off-Broadway in the Todd Rundgren musical, Up Against It, at the Public. Most recently, Stephen Temperley completed a run of his one-man show Nine Day Wonder as part of Centenary Stage Company's 2021 Fringe Festival.

This adaptation of A Christmas Carol by Stephen Temperley was crafted specifically for Centenary Stage Company's Sitnik Theatre and features Musical Direction and Original Music by Kevin Lynch. Probably the most popular piece of fiction that Charles Dickens ever wrote, A Christmas Carol, was published in 1843. Charles Dickens, through the voice of Scrooge, continues to urge us to honor Christmas in our hearts and try to keep it all year round. This adaptation is not a musical, but rather a play with musical elements.

In-person performance dates and times for A Christmas Carol adapted by Stephen Temperley are Thursdays, December 2 and 9 at 7:30 pm; Fridays, December 3 and 10 at 8:00 pm; Saturdays, December 4 and 11 at 8:00 pm; Sundays, December 5 and 12 at 2:00 pm; with special addition matinee performances at 2:00 pm on Wednesday December 1 and Saturday December 4. Tickets range from $25.00 - 29.50 with discounts available for seniors, students, children 12 and younger, and Thursday evening performances.
