A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol is a one-person stage adaptation of Charles Dickens’ holiday classic. The production presents Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation through a single storyteller who conjures the story’s ghosts, memories, and glimpses of the future, preserving the spirit of Dickens’ original work while offering a new interpretation.

Kimberly Gilbert performs as the storyteller, taking on a role inspired by Dickens himself and his celebrated solo readings of the novella. The production explores care, belief, reflection, faith, and the possibility of becoming a better person.
