The “nearly world-famous” DuffleBag Theatre returns to the St. Francis Centre with its comedic take on 'A Christmas Carol.' In this lively performance, some audience members may find themselves stepping into the story and becoming the stars of the show! Penny-pinching miser Ebenezer Scrooge is well-known across Victorian London for being far more interested in making money than friends. Above all else, he hates Christmas time and its spirit of giving. On one particular Christmas Eve, several spirits give Ebenezer the surprise of his life, as they whisk him off on a magical journey through past, present, and future to show him the true meaning of the season. From Fezziwig to Tiny Tim, all the favourites are included in this exuberant, interactive and side-splitting version of the Charles Dickens Yuletide classic! Concessions available.
Tickets are only $20/ticket and are available online at ajax.ca/sfc or at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, at the St. Francis Centre Box Office, or by calling 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS)
