Jersey Arts TV: Small but Mighty Cast of 'A Christmas Carol' Entertains Audiences at the Shakespeare Theatre of NJ


By Gina Marie Rodriguez & Dave Tavani

originally published: 12/06/2024


'Tis the season for festive holiday outings and lucky for us the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey has risen to the occasion with their take on "A Christmas Carol."

Scrooge’s iconic journey from miser to humanitarian appears fresh and new in Neil Bartlett’s bold and highly theatrical adaptation. Using a small ensemble of actors to bring the vast inhabitants of Dickens’ world to life (animate and inanimate alike), everything from the merry Fezziwigs to Scrooge’s complaining lightbulb, this inventive production is sure to capture the imaginations of the entire family and fill audiences with the magical spirit of the season.

Jersey Arts visits the Kean Theater Factory to speak with the cast and creatives behind "Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol."

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey presents 'A Christmas Carol' now through December 29, 2024. For more information or to purchase tickets, click here.
