Heralded as “The crowning jewel of holiday theatre here in Rhode Island” by EDGE Providence, Trinity Rep is celebrating its 32nd year of presenting this beloved New England holiday tradition. Appealing to young and old alike, this timeless tale of the power of forgiveness is a welcome reminder of the magic the holidays bring.

Resident acting company favorites Mauro Hantman and Joe Wilson Jr. share the shoes of iconic miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is confronted on Christmas Eve by the eerie apparition of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley. The ghost bears a stern warning that he has one last chance to mend the errors of his ways. Three spirits pay visits to Scrooge that Christmas Eve – the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future all make house calls. Through their magical travels that night, Scrooge greets Christmas morning with newfound hope and seizes the chance to redeem his ways.
