A Letter From the Artistic Producers
Happy holidays, and welcome to Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Jersey Christmas Show!
We are delighted to share this joyful and Jersey-proud celebration with you, your families, and your friends this season.
Inspired by Dickens’ timeless A Christmas Carol , this production reimagines the classic tale through the heart, humor, and unmistakable spirit of our region. We wanted to create a holiday story that celebrates everything that makes New Jersey unique. We hope you feel that spirit in every moment onstage.
We extend our deepest thanks to Gordon Greenberg , whose vision and creative energy have shaped this production with such care and delight. We are equally grateful to his extraordinary creative team and this phenomenal cast, whose comedic flair and musical talents bring this story to life with heart and joy.
If the message of A Christmas Carol moves you, as it has inspired audiences for generations, we invite you to consider making a year-end donation to George Street Playhouse. Your support ensures that we can continue telling new stories, nurturing artists, and creating meaningful theatrical experiences for our community.
We wish you a season filled with peace, laughter, and memorable moments. Thank you for celebrating the holidays with us.
We look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
With gratitude,
Chris, Scott, and Laiona
