Don’t miss A Christmas Carol, playing November 29 – December 22 at the Historic Dock Street Theatre!
Audiences were dazzled last season by the stunning new scenery, costumes, and special effects in Charleston Stage’s spectacular original adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol! Featuring a marvelous score of classic carols and over 50 iconic characters from Scrooge to Tiny Tim, this bright musical brings the heartfelt wonder of the Christmas season magically alive once more.
