There are certain parts of the holiday season that really spell Christmas: hot cocoa by the fire, a sweet-smelling tree adorned with ornaments, sparkling lights strung up around the neighborhood. But one of the most important aspects of the holidays is appreciating what you have, particularly the people you have, which is a lesson learned by Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

This classic holiday tale comes to life at the Courtroom Theater from November 25th to December 17th. Tickets are only $11 for general admission, so bring friends or family along to enjoy the heart-warming tale. Follow Scrooge as he learns about the worth of relationships and generosity via the visits of three ghosts. If you haven't read the tale in a while, you just might see something you missed before.
