Taproot Theatre’s holiday show is Mark Brown’s “The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge” from Nov. 18 through Dec. 30.
In an unbelievably bold move, Ebenezer Scrooge has charged Jacob Marley and the Christmas Spirits with trespassing, kidnapping, assault and battery: certain proof that he’s reverted to his old disagreeable self. Can the goodness and grace of Christmas survive? Full of laughter and goodwill, this is a delightful twist on Dickens’ classic tale.
