Until Dec. 24 (except Mondays):
Gateway Theatre Presents: A Christmas Carol:
Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy miser who despises Christmas. One Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of a deceased business partner and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Scrooge is given the opportunity to reflect upon his life, examine his heart, and be transformed by the spirit of the season.
Like all of Gateway’s holiday shows of the past, A Christmas Carol will be a fun-filled spectacle with live music for the whole family to enjoy together.
