Directed by Stacey Greenawalt
Audition dates: October 6 & 7, 2025
Performance dates: December 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 2025
A world premiere production! What happens when promotional materials for a Dickens classic arrive with an egregious typo with no budget to reprint? What else? The cast and crew transforms the show into an under-sea spectacle. Throw in an odd rivalry between an extra-salty Scrooge and a 'retired' Elvis impersonator, and you have a fin-tastically silly twist on the treasured tale.
