About the Show
New Life Fine Arts presents a spiritually uplifting musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ 1843 classic.
This powerful retelling follows the journey of Ebenezer Scrooge — a tight-fisted, cold-hearted curmudgeon — as he is supernaturally confronted with the truth of his wounded past, the barrenness of his present, and the warning of what’s to come if his heart does not change.
Through haunting encounters and transformative revelations, this timeless tale reminds us all that no one is beyond the reach of redemption.
