Join us for this celebrated holiday tradition! A Christmas Carol is based on the  Charles Dickens classic. It is Christmas Eve, when the crotchety and cruel Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge of the spirits to follow and to take heed of what is to come. The Ghost of Christmas Past and Present show Scrooge the carefree child he once was, and how money and life have hardened his soul. Once he is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future, Scrooge learns the fate that awaits him, should he not change his ways and let the joy of Christmas into his heart.

Character Breakdown

The Narrator:

TIMOTHY: Male. Timothy is the narrator of A Christmas Carol, leading the audience through Scrooge’s journey with warmth, insight, and sincerity.

The Scrooges:

FRED: Male. Fred is the opposite of his uncle Scrooge— upbeat and optimistic, he celebrates his life, even though he’s not well off financially. 

JANE: Female. Jane is Fred’s wife; confident and strong, a modern woman who isn’t afraid to let her voice be heard.

The Cratchit Family:

BOB CRATCHIT: Male. Bob is a good-natured and hard-working man, doing his best to stay positive while supporting a large family and working for a very difficult boss.

The Spirits:

JACOB MARLEY: Male. The ghost of Jacob Marley shows the tragic end of a life lived like Scrooge’s. He deals in heavy emotions at all times— anger and anguish mostly. 

PAST: Female, teens and up. The Ghost seems gentle and ethereal, but her questioning of Scrooge intentionally causes him to address memories he’d be happier to push aside. 

PRESENT: Adult. Loud and boisterous, the Ghost lives in the moment but mixes his good nature with a serious understanding of the weight of time. 

FUTURE: Non-speaking.

FAN: Scrooge’s Sister. Her warmth is such that she can make even Boy Scrooge’s saddest day better.

From Scrooge’s Past:

BOY EBENEZER: Male, pre-teen. Scrooge as a child is sullen and lonely, mostly content to bury himself in books rather than engage the world around him. 

YOUNG EBENEZER: Male. Unlike his older self, Young Ebenezer tempers his drive to succeed with a dash of wide-eyed romance.

ISABEL: Female. Belle is the girl of Young Ebenezer’s dreams, who falls for him but is strong and independent enough to walk away when he chooses work over her. 

DICK WILKINS: Male, late teen or early twenties. Young Ebenezer’s best friend, an outgoing and confident young man.

FEZZIWIG: Male. Mr. Fezziwig is a huge personality who is loved by all and who wants nothing more than to share his success with everyone around him.

TROWELL & TIBSHELF: Females. The Collecting women are somewhat lovable fops who finish one another’s sentences and have their sales pitch down to a science. 

MRS. SPENCER: Female. Owes Scrooge a debt that she cannot pay.

SUZANNAH: Female. A sweet and somewhat shy young woman who finds herself the target of Topper’s attention.

LUCY: Female. Lively, sharp-witted and observant guest at Fred’s Christmas party.

GEORGE: Male. Well-meaning, grounded friend & guest at Fred’s party

BOWLER: Male. Friend & guest at Fred’s party

MILLIE: Female. A warm, spirited party guest who brings a touch of elegance and nostalgia to Fred’s Christmas gathering. Kind and nurturing, but unafraid to speak her mind.

AGATHA: Female. A jovial and possibly more mature member of the group at Fred’s party. She’s motherly but enjoys playful fun.

CHARWOMAN: Female. Scrooge’s miserable housekeeper who runs with a rougher crowd than Scrooge probably knows.
