TheaterWorks will present Charles Dickens’ holiday classic “A Christmas Carol” Dec. 4–20 at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, 10580 N. 83rd Drive.
The production follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter businessman visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his former business partner and three spirits representing Christmas Past, Present and Future. Their visits lead Scrooge to reconsider his life and discover the importance of compassion and generosity.
Cydney Trent, who has more than a decade of experience directing and choreographing TheaterWorks productions, will direct this year’s show. BJ Garrett will portray Scrooge for the first time after appearing in six previous TheaterWorks productions of “A Christmas Carol,” playing characters including Bob Cratchit and Jacob Marley.
