A SHU holiday tradition continues with a sparkling adaptation written by nationally recognized alumni playwright Grace Caroline Curley, ‘23. This third annual production welcomes back SHU alum John Ratzenberger (Cheers, Cars, Toy Story, Wall-E) as Scrooge in this timeless tale. Scrooge greets each Christmas with “Bah! Humbug!” until he is visited one Christmas Eve by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. In Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, the three spirits show Scrooge memories from his past, difficult realities from the present and a grim future should he continue his closed-hearted ways. This adaptation stays faithful to the text and invites audiences to experience the wonder of the holiday season through a beloved, heartwarming tale for the whole family!
