STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Sundog Theatre will present Scrooge, the three Ghosts of Christmas, Tiny Tim, and a host of other Dickens’ characters in “A Christmas Carol”, a tale of redemption and enchantment, on Saturday, Dec. 7 in the Staten Island Playhouse at the Empire Outlets in St. George.
Since Charles Dickens first told his tale during the mid-1800s, it has remained a favorite holiday story.
In the guise of a ghost story, “A Christmas Carol” also explores themes of humanity and materialism. The performance is one stop on Sundog’s regional tour (New York City, New Jersey and Maryland) for the 70-minute musical which includes a question and answer session with the actors and audience after the show.
And Sundog’s presentation stays true to the original story in its musical version, adapted for the stage by Cash Tilton, with original songs by Susan Mondzak.
A child is chosen from the audience during each show to portray Tiny Tim or Tiny Tina — so the musical is appropriate for the entire family.
