"A Dickens Tale" is a 45-minute, fast-paced version of the literary classic, introducing audiences to Ebenezer Scrooge.

The show features all the classic characters, including old Scrooge, bumbling Cratchit, Jacob Marley, the three ghostly visitors, and more - all played by just two professional actors.
