The Three Ships Collective - with the support of Soup Can Theatre - is proud to present a new and immersive adaptation of Dickens’ timeless holiday classic set in the historic Campbell House Museum! Audiences are invited to step into the world of Victorian London and follow flinty miser Ebenezer Scrooge on his ghostly journey of redemption.
With an original text by Justin Haigh (Love is a Poverty You Can Sell, Behold the Barfly!) and directed by Sarah Thorpe (No Exit, Marat/Sade, Heretic), this production of A Christmas Carol offers a fresh and meaningful take on the familiar tale, complemented by live musical elements courtesy of Musical Director Pratik Gandhi (Love is a Poverty You Can Sell, Marat/Sade).
Bringing this work to life is a stellar cast featuring Thomas Gough (Storefront Theatre, Single Thread Theatre, safeword Theatre) as Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiffany Martin (Stratford Festival, Tarragon Theatre), Kholby Wardell (Off-Broadway’s Ride the Cyclone), Jim Armstrong (Hart House Theatre, Single Thread Theatre), Alex Dallas (Talking Heads, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate), Christopher Fowler (Shakespeare BASH’d, The Classical Theatre Project), John Fray (Turtleneck, Murdoch Mysteries), Tamara Freeman (A Company of Fools, Three Sisters Company), Mike Hogan (Rarely Pure Theatre, Hart House Theatre), Christopher Lucas (Othello, Little Shop of Horrors), Margo MacDonald (The Elephant Girls, Citadel Theatre), William Matthews (Murdoch Mysteries, Reign), and Amy Marie Wallace (Theatre Aquarius, Theatre Passe Muraille), with Makenna Beatty and Chloe Bradt sharing the role of Tiny Tim.
A perfect medley of mirth, music, and the macabre, A Christmas Carol promises to be a highlight of the holiday season!
