Alliance Theatre has been producing A Christmas Carol since 1990, making it one of the longest-running holiday theatrical traditions in the Southeast. The production is performed on the Coca-Cola Stage at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown Atlanta, a state-of-the-art proscenium theater that offers an intimate, comfortable setting for the show. The 650-seat venue means every seat is close to the action, and the sound-sensitive design ensures that every note of the live music and every line of dialogue comes through crystal clear.
The story follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Through their visions, Scrooge confronts his past mistakes, sees the warmth he has been missing, and glimpses a bleak future that awaits unless he changes his ways. It is a story of redemption, generosity, and second chances that resonates with audiences of all ages -- and Alliance Theatre production brings it to life with heart, humor, and spectacular stagecraft.
