ONE Theater Group, Inc. is proud to announce its upcoming production of A Christmas Carol. The play will take place Thursday December 15th, Friday December 16th and Saturday December 17th at 7 :00PM, and a Sunday matinee, December 18th at 2:00PM. Performances are held at the Fairhaven Town Hall Auditorium located at 40 Center Street, Fairhaven, MA 02719.

Adhering to its mission to raise money for charity, A Christmas Carol will support Family Reach as it’s unique beneficiary. Family Reach is a Massachusetts organization that provides assistance to families who have a child battling cancer. Specifically, this show’s proceeds will go to Family Reach’s ‘Hope for the Holidays’ program. Monies raised and donated will be used exclusively to purchase gift cards to help these families during the holiday season. This allows them to more easily afford holiday gift-buying, holiday dinner, and attend seasonal events, during an emotionally and financially challenging time. Every gift card recipient will be a local family in Southeastern, MA.

ONE Theater Group, Inc.’s production of A Christmas Carol is a truly magical yet faithful rendition of the Dickens classic. As is with all of ONE Theater Group’s productions, patrons can expect bright colors, over the top décor, beautiful scenery, and a top notch cast. A Christmas Carol is family friendly, and a show that all ages can enjoy!

Ebenezer Scrooge does not embrace the holiday season like most people do… He is miserly, misanthropic, and devoted only to his work. On the night of Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his late partner Jacob Marley, as well as the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. Through various visions, he becomes enlightened to his unloving ways, sees what he’s already lost, and sees the greater risk of what’s to come. Scrooge then awakens on Christmas morning renewed, and fully committed to honoring Christmas in his heart and keeping its joy and beauty all of his years.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children. Seating is general admission.
