Bringing a new tradition to Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Shakespeare is releasing tickets now!
Santa Cruz Shakespeare (SCS), a nationally recognized professional repertory theater company staging imaginative productions for more than a decade, debuts a new holiday tradition for the whole family with its production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, starring Mike Ryan as Ebeneezer Scrooge. Audiences can expect a theatrical and music-filled adaptation of this classic play.
The production will run from November 23 through December 24, 2024, at the Veterans Memorial Hall at 846 Front St in Downtown Santa Cruz. There will be 28 performances, including shows at 2pm and 7pm.
“It will be a wonderfully theatrical production, with five professional actors and two local kids playing all the parts in Dickens’ beautiful story,” said SCS Artistic Director, Charles Pasternak. “It is my sincere hope that we are creating a new holiday tradition for our community with A Christmas Carol — one you can share with your children and grandchildren.”
The show will be directed by Pasternak and star Santa Cruz favorites Mike Ryan as Scrooge and Julie James as, among many roles, the Ghost of Christmas Present. Luke Shepherd will serve as the production’s music director and sound designer for a show filled with music and carols throughout.
