Free Theater! “The Montford Moppets Present: A Christmas Carol!”
This year’s “A Christmas Carol” will be decidedly different, but three times the fun! This year, a group of young actors at Montford Park Players, have decided to get together to rewrite the classic story for this years production. But no one on can seem to agree on how it should be done. Is Scrooge perhaps a Super villain battling the hero Bob Cratchit for Christmas domination, like in that one movie? Or maybe Scrooge it just an innocent victim on Jacob Marleys nefarious plans, like that other movie. Maybe the Ghost of Christmas Present is really just Santa clause taking a break, like in that one Christmas special…… This years Christmas Carol will take us on a journey through the imagination of youth, film and storytelling like you’ve never seen it, while still tell the classic heartwarming tale we all know and love. Created and written by our beloved Moppets themselves, this show is going to put a smile on your face that will last all the way through New Year’s Eve.
This show is presented outdoors, so please dress WARMLY!
