Actors' Playhouse Musical Theatre for Young Audiences Presents A CHRISTMAS CAROL, 12/1-23

To kick off the holiday season, Actors' Playhouse Musical Theatre for Young Audiences will present a timeless tale of yuletide spirit live on stage in A Christmas Carol, the Musical. A fabulous musical adaptation written especially for family audiences, this Miracle Theatre favorite promises to warm hearts as it reveals the true meaning of the holidays.
