Seton Hall Presents Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol

Seton Hall University’s Department of Communication and The Arts will celebrate the holiday spirit with a production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, adapted by Doris Baizley.

The show is student-directed by Christine Byrne ’15, under the faculty mentorship of Professor Deirdre Yates, Chairperson of the Department of Communication and The Arts. Children and families are welcome to attend to kick start holiday festivities.

In this inventive adaptation of the classic Dickens story, we encounter a company of traveling players about to enact the tale. The on-stage trunk of supplies opens revealing the show’s props, which are shabby, but the troupe improvises by creating a magical world of make-believe. The rag tag players quickly become the characters of the story and we are pulled into the heartwarming story of the transformation of Scrooge.

This production features Raphael Glasglov ’14, in the title role of Ebenezer Scrooge, Edwin Kindler ’14 as Jacob Marley.​

Performances are December 4 through 6 at 8:00 p.m. and December 7 at 2:00 p.m. in the Theatre-in-the-Round located in the University Center of Seton Hall University’s main campus. The production is free and there are no reservations necessary.
