Set in the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, this unforgettable production and amazing cast imagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the owner of a mining company town, where his callous greed blinds him to the joys and gifts of the season.
As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who compel him to see life anew and discover that love is the greatest gift we have. The legendary holiday tale re-written as a new American classic features Dickens’ classic characters and Parton’s one-of-a-kind songwriting expertise, making this a holiday event you’ll want to share with those you love.
Adapted by David H. Bell, Paul T. Couch and Curt Wollan Book by David H. Bell Music and Lyrics by Dolly Parton Directed and choreographed by Antoinette DiPietropolo Produced by Right Angle Entertainment and Paul T. Couch Music and lyrics are written by 11-time Grammy winner Dolly Parton.
