​​Open auditions are coming up for our annual holiday show,

"Ebenezer Scrooge." The auditions will be held at the theatre,

1104 S. Elm Street, in the Historic Downtown Carrollton Square.

 

For the 42nd year, the spirits of Christmas Past, Present

and Future will converge in North Texas's longest-running and

highest acclaimed Dinner Theatre. The Pocket Sandwich Theatre presents

Joe Dickinson and Laurie Tirmenstein's "Ebenezer Scrooge", a musical adaptation of

Charles Dickens' iconic holiday story, A Christmas Carol.

 

This adaptation of A Christmas Carol brings Dickens' narrative to vivid life as 

Ebenezer Scrooge's journeys with the spirits of Christmas on one magical

Christmas Eve. From his kind-hearted sister Fan and first love, Belle, to his

generous employer Fezziwig and humble clerk Bob Cratchit, Scrooge is repeatedly shown the saving grace of love and concern for humanity. This heartwarming message of "A Christmas Carol" helps to make it one of the world's most popular stories.
