(HOBOKEN, NJ) -- Mile Square Theatre presents Tom Mula’s Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol with a four-week limited engagement at Mile Square Theatre from December 1-24. Directed by Jenn Haltman, this clever and dark retelling of the Dickens classic has Jacob Marley tasked with helping to redeem his old business partner’s soul and undergoes his own transformation. Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

Artistic Director Kevin R. Free said, “When I was a kid, this is the kind of Holiday play I wanted to see: something traditional with a dark twist. As an adult, I performed in several versions of A Christmas Carolbut none of them looked like this!”

The production stars Sevrin Anne Mason* as Jacob Marley and Jezabel Montero* as Scrooge. Rounding out the cast are Caturah Brown, Dominic Russo, Grant Cary Peterson and Kristin (KP) Sgarro. *Performing courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association.
