Molly Atkinson once again directs the Tim Carroll-adapted A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens's beloved tale of redemption and hope. Returning to the Shaw Festival's Royal George Theatre from November 13 to December 22, the holiday classic hits the stage just in time to herald Niagara-on-the-Lake's historic main street's transformation into the ultimate Christmas village.
Now in its third year, The Shaw's production A Christmas Carol has become a true holiday tradition for families and those heartily embracing the spirit of the season. Through the magic of puppetry, music and dance, A Christmas Carol tells the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation from stingy miser to generous soul. Following a rousing chorus of carols at the end of the show, audience members are invited to join the cast on stage and capture the moment with a selfie. A Christmas Carol is just one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's holiday highlights that includes the Candlelight Stroll, ice skating at Fort George, the Christmas parade and The Shaw's holiday mainstage musical
Irving Berlin's
Holiday Inn.
