A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Featuring: Bruce Cromer as Ebenenzer Scrooge

Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a miraculous Christmas Eve transformation as he views with new eyes his past, present and the possibilities of the future. As he witnesses all those who have improved his life — his first love Belle, his kindhearted employer Fezziwig, his nephew Fred and his heartily abused clerk Bob Cratchit — he realizes that it’s never too late to change his miserly ways. Suitable for all general audiences, including children ages 5 and older.
