Dickens classic to raise funds for Park Theatre

The Park Theatre and producer Hunter Arnold have boosted the holiday season by announcing that a special filmed version of Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic “A Christmas Carol” starring one of the finest stage actors of our time, Tony Award winner Jefferson Mays, was released worldwide on Nov. 28 and is currently streaming via the Park Theatre website through Jan. 3, 2021.

This online video event will benefit The Park Theatre as well as other community, amateur, regional theaters across the country which have been devastated by the pandemic. Directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Michael Arden, adapted by Mays, Susan Lyons, and Arden, and conceived by Arden and Tony Award nominee Dane Laffrey, the filmed version is based on the wildly acclaimed 2018 production which made its world premiere at Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse.

Tickets for “A Christmas Carol” are now available to purchase via www.theparktheatre.org. Tickets are $50 per household for a 24-hour online rental of the program. $20 of each ticket is donated to The Park Theatre by the producers of the show. Information and tickets are also available by calling The Park Theatre box office at (603) 532-8888.

Experience A Christmas Carol unlike any other – past, present or future. The timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge comes to thrilling new life as Mays plays over 50 roles in a virtuosic, master class of a performance that must be seen to be believed.

Staged exclusively for this film and captured live with breathtaking clarity, this must-watch streaming event conjures the powerful spirits of Christmas and brings all the magic of live theatre home for the holidays.
