Tewksbury High Drama Department To Present 'A Christmas Carol'

Scrooge, Marley and co. will officially open the new McGrath Auditorium.

(Editor's note: The following information was submitted by the Tewksbury High Drama Department.)

TMHS will open its brand new theater with the Christmas production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Christmas is looming in Victorian Britain, but Scrooge, London's most notorious miser is not getting into the spirit. He is a man so mean, he begrudges giving him only staff member, Bob Cratchit a day off, despite it being Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, all is about to change when he receives a visit from Jacob Marley, his ex-business partner, who is as "dead as a doornail". Marley's ghost comes with a warning, telling Scrooge he should expect three visits of three Christmas Spirits.

Scrooge's past, present and future come to haunt him, but will this change a man so set in his miserable ways?
