(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!
