RISE is thrilled to announce this ambitious, immersive production – a CHRISTMAS CAROL like you’ve never seen! This magical new adaptation by Christian O’Neill presents a fresh and lively take on the familiar, integrating bountiful English folk music into the story to create a “found-music musical.” Steve Taschereau (Ebenezer Scrooge) leads a cast of thirty local performers in RISE’s first ever full-scale production of Dickens’ timeless tale of redemption. Featuring dazzling multimedia scenery, costumes by Emily Partington, and choreography by Nicole C. Laliberté, Director of Freedom Dances, this unique production will also begin a preshow holiday concert led by Alan Short, UK native and English folk music performer, who joins our cast as the “Chief Wassailer.”
