About This Production

In this hilarious, twisted take on the holiday classic, it’s one year after A Christmas Carol and Scrooge has returned to his miserly ways… The Ghosts of Christmas are on trial for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress as Scrooge rants and raves to the court. Both silly and sweet, The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge is a heartwarming comedy for the whole family!

Critic and Audience Reviews

This was our first theater online [experience], and in addition to the fantastic script and acting, we were amazed by the creative 'staging.' It was inspiring to thoroughly enjoy theater during a lockdown.

-Audience Member

Music, sounds, other special effects and particularly the computer-animated backgrounds create an impressive degree of theatricality.
