Is there anyone who doesn't love Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol? The story is filled with the holiday spirit - and hauntings and redemption and celebration and forgiveness. There isn't much to dislike.

Enter the Victorian London of Charles Dicken's incredible imagination as Metropolis Performing Arts Center revives their beloved production of A Christmas Carol this year! A festive feast like no other, join the miserly business owner Ebenezer Scrooge as he learns to appreciate his fellow men, thanks to a trio of spooky visitors! Adapted by Krisa Scott, with direction from Artistic Director Brendan Ragan.
Ever since Charles Dickens first penned A Christmas Carol in 1843, it has seen myriad stage adaptations and the popularity of this tale of redemption and second chances has seemingly never waned. From stage to screen, opera to one-man shows, it is one of the most influential Christmas shows and a traditional holiday outing that defines the joy of the Yuletide period for most of us.
Ebenezer Scrooge doesn't see the point of letting his employees have a day off for Christmas, not even kind Bob Cratchit, whose son Tiny Tim is very sick. Eventually, he is convinced and retires to his room to pass Christmas Eve as he usually does, alone. But this Christmas is different. He has a visitor for a change, the wretched soul of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Doomed to wander the earth for eternity for his sins in life, Marley warns Scrooge of 3 impending visitations.
In a flurry of fear, he meets the gentle Ghost of Christmas Past, the jolly Ghost of Christmas Present and the terrifying Ghost of Christmas to Come, all of whom want to teach him a lesson...
