A Christmas Carol: Every Man Has the Power to Do Good

🎄 A Christmas Carol: Every Man Has the Power to Do Good 🎩

Adaptation by James Hutchison | Directed by Jeralyn Shattuck

This holiday season, join Lights Up Production’s community theater for a moving and magical retelling of Dickens’ timeless tale. In this expanded adaptation by James Hutchison, Ebenezer Scrooge is more than a miser—he’s a man shaped by grief, fear, and forgotten love. Alongside familiar faces like Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, audiences will meet Old Fezziwig, Scrooge’s cheerful mentor; his warm-hearted nephew Fred; and Belle—the love of Scrooge’s life. When long-lost letters from his sister Fan resurface, they awaken memories that even the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come cannot ignore.

As Scrooge journeys through the shadows of his youth, the warmth of the present, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead, he’s challenged to rediscover the kindness he once knew—and the power he still holds to change. With theatrical wonder, humor, and heart, this production reminds us that redemption is always possible, and that every person has the power to do good.

A fresh take on an old tale, this 120-minute staged production is perfect for all ages and a beautiful way to celebrate the season.
