Charles Dickens powerful story has enchanted audiences the world over with its timeless message of redemption, said OCP.

This new adaptation of Dickens’ ever popular classic is the best ever with the beloved music of traditional carols woven throughout this tale, filling the stage with first class actors, lush costumes, stunning sets and puppetry, haunting special effects, and a heavy dose of humor.

OCP and CMI are excited to welcome back Clayton Phillips to direct and adapt this year’s production.
