December 4-27, 2015
The 2015/15 Dangerous Dreams Tour takes a break from touring the country to give you some ghostly season’s greetings. Marley, the three Christmas ghosts, the Cratchits, and Tiny Tim are all back to take Scrooge on the ride of his money-grubbing life. Expect to be right in the middle of this beloved tale with new twists, surprises, and a production filled with music and cheer for the whole family.
ASC veteran Allison Glenzer plays Scrooge for the first time.
