A Christmas Carol: (Rated PG)
The traditional tale with a twist, Charles Dickens steps on the stage to begin the show. A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.
Originally published in 1834 with lessons that still ring true today, A Christmas Carol is a holiday classic that reminds us of the importance of kindness, generosity, and the holiday spirit.

To the patrons/volunteers/cast members
Thank You!

Meet the Director: Alex S. Freeman
Currently based in NYC, I hold an MFA in Directing from Western Illinois University. My directing style is highly collaborative, bringing the best artists and minds into a room and letting the best idea win. Having studied many different styles and approaches throughout my career, I love meeting artists where they are, understanding their language, and facilitating communication between everyone working on the show.
Christmas Carol is one of my own favorite holiday traditions - and I am so excited for a joyful holiday experience creating this show with the artists at STC for the audiences at STC!
When not directing, I'm probably reading - either for fun or for work. As an audiobook narrator, I have narrated over 100 books, numerous YouTube videos, commercials, and host two podcasts!
