The Story

A Christmas Carol is a story originally written by Charles Dickens in London back in the 1840’s. It tells the story of an old and bitter man named Ebenezer Scrooge who in the beginning chooses to hoard all his wealth and spend as little money as possible but eventually undergoes an incredible transformation into a nicer, kinder and more giving person.

This tale is great for people of all ages, especially children, who will be amazed by the spectacular set, costumes and screenplay throughout, as well as the top-notch acting performed by local talent.

Last year’s shows were all sold out so make sure to get your tickets before it’s too late to attend one of Calgary’s best annual theatrical performances around!
