Join our cast for Theatre Bacchus’ next Holiday Show!
Charles Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol", adapted for stage by James Reynard
A VERY different approach to telling this famous tale! Sections of the audience are called upon to provide some of the sound effects (bells, howling wind, toasts of good cheer)! A truly interactive production with many other surprises, that still stays true to the beloved story.
