ECC Arts Center presents virtual ‘A Christmas Carol’ performance

The Elgin Community College Arts Center has partnered with the nation’s largest community theatre, Omaha Community Playhouse, to bring you “A Christmas Carol.” This 45-year tradition has been adapted into a virtual theatrical performance for the entire family to enjoy. The performance is online now and can be viewed any time before Jan. 3, 2020.

The Omaha Community Playhouse says, “It just isn’t Christmas without ‘A Christmas Carol’! Experience this favorite holiday classic reimagined with a small cast of eight. Ebenezer Scrooge takes us on a life-changing journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas. Filled with stunning Victorian costumes, festive music, and crisp, wintry sets, ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a beautiful reminder that love and generosity are the heart of the Christmas holiday.”

Tickets to “A Christmas Carol” are $39 when you use code C-ELGIN at checkout. The ticket provides your household with access to the virtual performance for 48 hours. Tickets are available for purchase online at https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/43126.

With the ECC Arts Center unable to provide its usual holiday entertainment, the community is invited to purchase a ticket to support this special arts collaboration between the ECC Arts Center and the Omaha Community Playhouse.

The ECC Arts Center can be found on social media at facebook.com/eccartscenter and on Twitter @eccartscenter, as well as on the ECC website at elgin.edu/arts.
