What do you value most? And is it what's truly important? Take time with your family this holiday season to renew your answers to these essential questions alongside Tiny Tim, Ebenezer Scrooge and a sleigh full of ghosts and magical creatures as we remount this warm and engaging adaptation of the Dickens classic. In this version, Scrooge's nephew Fred stands in for the spirit of the season, expressing what we all love about the story when he says to Scrooge; "[This] is a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers in life, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." 12/2–12/28 Get tickets
