A Christmas Carol
2008-2009 SEASON
-
This marks the 14th time that the Chatham Players has produced this show: from 1988-1995, the group produced the show every December, and it now produces the show on a biennial basis. This unique production has become a popular family tradition for many in the area – entertaining more than 25,000 audience members since 1988.
After presenting the show essentially the same way since 1988, Chatham Players re-staged the show in 2005. After a three year hiatus, Chatham Players has once again re-imagined the production with a new look and feel. This year's production will focus on the joyous uplifting message that Dickens intended, with all the music that our audiences have found so enchanting over the years. The new production will have audience members leaving the theatre with the "true Christmas spirit," and remind each and every one of them to embrace the joy and happiness associated with the holiday season.
Performance dates are December 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8:00PM and December 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 & 21 at 3:00PM. All performances are at the Chatham Playhouse, 23 North Passaic Avenue, in Chatham. And as their holiday gift to you, Chatham has priced tickets at $20 for all ages! You can access the theater’s online ticketing service 24 hours a day. Tickets can be purchased online up until three hours prior to curtain on the day of a performance. The box office will begin accepting phone reservations on November 18 at (973) 635-7363.
