UMF production of Dickens “A Christmas Carol”

Deeply affected by the poverty in London and rampant child labor, Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol to promote social reform and advocate for the poor and underserved. First published in 1843, Dickens’ novella tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and selfish man who has no use for Christmas and the kindness of others. All that changes when he is visited by the ghost of his former partner and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-To-Come. Location: Emery Community Arts Center, Performance Space.
