The story of Scrooge and the ghosts of Past, Present, and Future has been told dozens if not hundreds of times in various forms—even the Muppets did a take on it! It’s also known that Dickens himself toured around after the story was published doing public readings for enthusiastic crowds. Our version is much simpler than the Muppets. Five actors play all the parts in a 90-minute show that is produced simply because everything has to fit in the trunk of a car when we visit Lopez and Orcas islands.
