Storyline

The Three Ships Collective, with the support of Soup Can Theatre, is holding auditions for the upcoming remount of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, directed by Sare Thorpe and written by Justin Haigh.

Now in its seventh year, A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a highly original, immersive, and critically acclaimed adaptation of Charles Dickens’ story, staged in the historic Campbell House Museum at Queen and University in downtown Toronto. Our production invites audiences to step into the world of Victorian London and follow flinty miser Ebenezer Scrooge on his ghostly journey of redemption. For more information about the show, please visit our website (christmascarolto.com) and/or read our reviews (including NNNNN from NOW Magazine) on our press page (https://christmascarolto.com/about/press-reviews/).
