A Christmas Carol
A Van Wezel debut, A Christmas Carol, produced by Nebraska Theatre Caravan, is a lavish, full-scale Broadway style production boasting a cast of 27 actors and live musicians – touring for over 30 years! Others pale in comparison to the splendor of this production. This time tested tale artfully brings to life the England of Charles Dickens and blends his classic story with rousing arrangements of traditional carols like God Rest Ye’ Merry Gentlemen, Wassail, Wassail, Greensleeves and many more. Combining supernatural with the sentimental, both children and grown-ups alike will be delighted with this treasured theatrical event of Scrooge and Tiny Tim – God Bless Us Everyone!
