What turns a man’s heart to ice? What makes him trade love for gold, joy for solitude, and warmth for shadows?
Defining Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Story reimagines Dickens’s timeless classic through fresh eyes, blending evocative original music with a powerful new narrative that explores the making and unmaking of a miser.
Guided by Belle the Storyteller and the shadow of Scrooge’s estranged father, we journey through Ebenezer’s past, witnessing the pain, choices, and lost loves that shaped him.
On a fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley, and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Through their revelations, he confronts not only his memories but the ripple of his actions across time — childhood loss, fractured family bonds, fading friendships, and a love that still echoes in his heart.
As the story unfolds, we see both the man he was and the man he might yet become. Defining Scrooge is a sweeping story of redemption, community, and the enduring power of kindness and love — brought to life through heart-stirring music and unforgettable drama.
Join us this holiday season for a moving retelling that invites us to look beyond the “Bah, humbug!” and discover the humanity that defines Ebenezer Scrooge.
