What better way to kick off the holiday season than this in-person performance of this charming new adaptation, written and directed by Script in Hand curator Mark Shanahan! Based on the timeless tale by Charles Dickens, A Merry Little Christmas Carol will transport you back in time before social media, before TV and the movies, when we asked our imaginations to give spirits corporal form.
