Cold-hearted and greedy, Ebenezer Scrooge is anything but jolly at Christmas time.

Even his nephew Fred and clerk Cratchit get nothing but a “bah humbug” when spreading holiday cheer. But something shifts when the ghost of his business partner Marley visits to save him from his own bitter demise. Watch his epic transformation in this classic tale of compassion, hope and redemption that will leave hearts glowing.

Adapted to a one-man play, this charming holiday classic will provide festive entertainment while melting frosty hearts. As Royal MTC’s annual regional tour, A Christmas Carol travels to 24 communities across Manitoba and Northern Ontario from Nov.19 - Dec. 21.

The Royal MTC  production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ is generously sponsored by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries. With their support, Royal MTC is able to provide an opportunity for audiences outside of Winnipeg to experience live, professional theatre.  Additional sponsors for the tour include MacDon Industries, Wawanesa Insurance, Winnipeg Airports Authority, with support from the Manitoba Arts Council.

‘A Christmas Carol’ stars Rod Beattie. The creative team includes stage manager Douglas Beattie, tour technical director Ian Kirk and tour technician James Thurmeier. Original music and musical arrangements by Stephen Woodjetts, played by Laura Burton, Donna Claire McLeod, and Andrew Chung, recorded by Jim Neil.
