Theatre Calgary’s A Christmas Carol marks it’s 36th season of delighting young and old with the classic tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge and his path to rediscovering the importance of kindness. It has certainly come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1983 at the old QR Centre. Boasting an immersive set made up of four houses weighing 3,000 lbs. each, a cast of 20 actors clothed in over 1,000 costume pieces, supported by 17 crew members, it’s no small theatrical undertaking.
Theatre Calgary is thrilled to welcome A Christmas Carol back to the Max Bell Theatre beginning November 30th, celebrating the 35th year of Calgary’s beloved holiday tradition.
For the 2021 production, Theatre Calgary will perform Geoffrey Simon Brown’s abridged adaptation of Dickens’ classic novel. Audiences will get a chance to see two different casts of three actors showcase their enormous talents and skills as they bring numerous characters in the story to life.
For Theatre Calgary, A Christmas Carol is a one of the most anticipated and cherished family events in our city every year. For 33 years, Charles Dickens’ ghost story of the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge has made it’s way from the old QR Centre, to the Arts Commons Max Bell Theatre. This year however, it has made another move…into the homes of audiences near and far with a filmed digital production.
