Wander through snow-filled forests, smell the Christmas goose and figgy pudding, lift Marley’s ghostly chain… and then take your seat for the NAC’s breathtaking production of the beloved classic A Christmas Carol, brought to life by the one and only Andy Jones as Ebenezer Scrooge. It’s Christmas Eve and Scrooge is on his own, rich but miserable, until the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come offer him a last chance at redemption.

This performance is narrated by an actor who is legally blind, and a deaf actor who performs in American Sign Language (ASL), assisted by an onstage interpreter.
