Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

Unity Touring along with Unity Dance Troupe will presents its production of Scrooge: A Unity Carol, based on Charles Dickens’ novel A Christmas Carol, this December in Cleveland, TN. This exciting journey through the story of Ebenezer Scrooge is the perfect family-fun event to kick off your holiday season! Featuring original musical compositions, live instrumental performance, dynamic choreography and acrobatics, dancing, acting, and live vocals, this Broadway-style production is sure to jump-start your Christmas spirit! The melody of piano, violin, flute and cello, composed by Zamüell, ushers Scrooge through the wintry walk from his cold London accounting house to his home where he experiences a night of inexplicable discovery. Led by the three Ghosts of Christmas, Scrooge faces scenes from his past, discovers his present reality in a fresh perspective, and receives a timely warning of what is to come… unless he makes the decision to live in a new way. Christmas Past, played by Unity Touring Artist Kara Sutherland, embodies the beauty and strength of ballet and classical pointe. Christmas Present, played by professional actor and Unity Touring Artist Kyle Gazak, opens Scrooge’s eyes to the goodness available to him through the joy and wonder of Christmas. Christmas Future, played by Principal Unity Touring Artist Alexis Ziarkowski Burleson, forces Scrooge to face the ultimate consequence of his life’s trajectory. Choreography featuring the work of Alexis Ziarkowski Burleson and Grace Griffth explores everything from contemporary, tap, pointe, classical ballroom waltz, acrobatics, jazz, lyrical, and hip hop, leaving no room for a dull moment. Scrooge will also feature the masterful costume design and construction of Lauren Williams. From elaborate ballroom dresses to the rags worn by Ignorance and Want, the variety of color and material brings the story to life through deep symbolism and imagery. If you love everything about Christmas, this show is sure to delight you and your family! As you follow a man from his bah-humbug days to his moment of freedom, you will discover the secret to his change of heart and re-discover the joy of Christmas Spirit!
