2025 FALL PRODUCTION
Book and new music by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson, based on the works of Charles Dickens and O. Henry A Christmas Carol November 13-December 6, 2025 Non-Perishable Food Items are being collected at the theater! Tickets now on sale! CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS This year's Liberty Theater presentation of "A Christmas Carol" combines the beloved story of the same title published by Charles Dickens in 1843, and the well-known short story, "The Gift of the Magi," published by O. Henry in 1905. Woven together, these two beautiful stories become one tale, in which the hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted with the choice between a self-imposed hell and a redeeming, selfless love. The strength of charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence is the focus of this reimagined stageplay written by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson, who have also collaborated in the creation of new music and lyrics to help bring the story to life, and produced by Touchet Valley Arts Council Productions. Directed by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson 14 Shows: November 13-December 6 only 3 shows remaining! Tickets $15-$18-$20, except all tickets are only $10 on Family Nights Nov 13 and Dec 4.
