Marvel at the Magic of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come
Sponsored by Georgia Southern Theatre, audiences will be captivated as Vickers embodies the entire cast of A Christmas Carol, from the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge to the warmhearted Cratchit family.
Brock Vickers reflects on his experience, “It’s a rite of passage for every actor to share this classic Christmas story, and I’m excited to share this version in my home state and my alma mater. It’s a special story for this time of year and means a lot that I can give back to my community.”
Brock Vickers reflects on his experience, “I think this story must be shared every year because there’s a little Scrooge in us all, but we’re all capable of the same transformative change Scrooge undergoes, and it’s a great reminder for us all.”
Experience the chilling visitations of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, and feel the transformative power of Scrooge's journey from despair to redemption. Through Vickers’ powerful voice and dynamic gestures, each moment is rendered with a richness and depth that brings new life to this timeless story.
A Heartwarming Experience for All
The show’s director, Rebecca Vickers, is adamant about creating experiences that capture the magic of the holidays. Vickers states, “It’s so easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays that we lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of togetherness. My hope is that this production will warm hearts and draw us closer together in this festive time of the year.”
This one-of-a-kind performance is perfect for families, friends, and anyone who cherishes the spirit of Christmas.
The minimalist staging highlights the story and the true essence of Dickens' message. The result is an unforgettable evening celebrating the enduring themes of compassion, generosity, and the possibility of change.
