Once again this December, PerSeverance Productions in conjunction with CMI Entertainment in New York, will present their national touring production of the holiday classic “A Christmas Carol” across the United States including one performance at the Van Singel Fine Arts Center on Saturday, Dec. 16, at 7:30 pm.

For many years, more than 100,000 audiences young and old have been delighted by this spectacular adaptation of the beloved Charles Dickens tale, filled with humor, heart, and humbug.  Written by director and star, Scott H. Severance, this large cast musical features dozens of well-known Christmas Carols, including “Joy to the World,” “Silent Night” and a gorgeous a cappella version of “O, Holy Night.”  The script is full of surprises and special effects, the performances are genuine and heartfelt, and the ghosts are alternately frightening and hilarious. Bring the whole family for a chance to meet Scrooge and Tiny Tim after the show. Show information can be found at www.perseverance-productions.com.

This special holiday favorite has enchanted audiences the world over with its simple message of holiday joy. Ebenezer Scrooge, that most unrepentant and miserly of fellows, is made to see the light as he survives a merciless battery of revelations by the ghosts of his own life: Jacob Marley and the Christmas Spirits of Past, Present, and Future. With the music of 26 beloved traditional carols of the season woven throughout this classic tale.
