It’s been a long time since you last experienced A.C.T.’s celebrated production of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. Featuring a lively cast of dozens, delightful music, gorgeous costumes, and those deliciously spooky ghosts, the Bay Area's favorite holiday tradition returns home. This version of A Christmas Carol—adapted by Paul Walsh and Carey Perloff—stays true to the heart of Dickens's timeless story of redemption and brings a playful sensibility to his rich language. A Christmas Carol is a decades-long cornerstone of the A.C.T. repertory and has become a holiday tradition for families all around the San Francisco Bay Area.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
This adaptation of Dickens’ holiday classic, created for A.C.T. by Carey Perloff and Paul Walsh, has been a family-friendly crowd-pleaser for years, with its colorful sets and costumes, its music and its large multi-generational cast. James Carpenter and Anthony Fusco alternate as the miserly Scrooge, with Dan Hiatt as Marley’s ghost, Jomar Tagatac as Bob Cratchit and Sharon Lockwood once again as the jolly Mrs. Fezziwig. Peter J. Kuo directs.
