It isn’t Christmas in Atlanta until you’ve seen A Christmas Carol at the Alliance Theatre. The most heartwarming story of the season comes to life on the Alliance Stage, with holiday carols, stunning stage magic, and your favorite Atlanta actors. Journey with your family through the beloved Dickens tale, and witness Ebenezer Scrooge’s discovery of the true meaning of Christmas over the course of one fateful evening. Meet beloved characters along the way like the generous Mr. Fezziwig, the selfless and beautiful Belle, and the adorable Tiny Tim, and you too will discover again the joys of the holiday season in Atlanta. The full cast of A Christmas Carol will feature 25 local actors (six being children). Now in its 21st season at the Alliance, A Christmas Carol is the classic holiday tradition for generations of families throughout the South. Opening Night is Thursday, Dec. 2, at 7pm on the Alliance Stage, with previews beginning Thanksgiving weekend.
A Christmas Carol is recommended for ages 6 and up. Special Family Nights on will be held on Dec. 9, 10, 16, and 17 featuring pre-show choirs in the galleria. Family Four Packs are available for these performances and include four tickets (including a minimum of one adult and one child ticket), complimentary parking, and a commemorative green screen photo with each family “on the set” of the show for only $109. Plus, starting on November 26, there will be a “Pop-up Shop” by the Indie Craft Experience that benefits the Alliance. The shop will be across the lobby from the stage and will feature handmade gifts and crafts.
