(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre is presenting A Christmas Carol with performances weekends through December 11th. In this classic story, Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than happiness. But, on Christmas Eve, he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts lead him through his past, present and future. Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

This spectacular adaptation of Dickens' most well-known story proved its staying power with a decade-long run at Madison Square Garden and is presented for the 12th time at Music Mountain Theatre.  The show’s story speaks to every generation and is sure to put you in the spirit of the season!

David Whiteman has returned to the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for his 12th year, leading a cast of 61 performers in the spectacular holiday production. Also returning for their 12th time in the show are Louis Palena (Bob Cratchit), Jordan Brennan, Denise Carr, Lucinda Fisher, Gary Garafola, Jill Gibilisco, Michelle Lazarczyk and McAfee Madding.  Eight-year-old Sam Chase is back on stage for his second turn as young Tiny Tim.

Performances take place Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00pm; Saturdays & Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are $25 for adults, $23 for students or seniors and are available for purchase online or by calling the box office at 609-397-3337.

At the 3:00pm performance on December 10th, audience members are encouraged to wear their best Ugly Holiday Sweater to the show and participate in the Ugly Sweater Contest during intermission.  A winner will be selected by applause and receive a trophy! Come celebrate the holiday season with A Christmas Carol at Music Mountain Theatre from November 25 - December 11.
