Jacob Marley is dead, as we all know. What we don’t know is that in his death, he has 24 hours to do the impossible: redeem Ebenezer Scrooge, the one man alive who is worse than he. Otherwise, Jacob Marley will be condemned to eternal torment, wearing the very real chains in death that he metaphorically forged in life. Guided by a mischievous imp called a Bogle, Jacob Marley sets out to redeem his former partner, and may just find redemption himself.
A playful twist on Charles Dickens’ classic tale! Don’t miss this Christmas treat for the whole family!
Estimated run time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Recommended for ages 5 and up

This performance is less formal and is supportive of those with sensory, communication, and learning needs. At no point will anyone be asked to leave due to sound, movement, or differing cognitive/developmental abilities. Audience members are welcome to step out and re-enter the theatre as needed. We also lower the show’s sound levels and leave the house lights on low so the audience is never in the dark.
