Spriet Stage
Experience all the magic, music, and sheer joy of this acclaimed adaptation, with a new twist!
The Dickens classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL returns to the Spriet stage this season with Jan Alexandra Smith as SCROOGE, in a gender-flipping twist on the holiday classic that’s sure to delight. Ms Smith most recently appeared at the Grand in the powerhouse role of Johannah Donnelly in VIGILANTE, back by popular demand this season.
Immerse yourself in this spectacle of Scrooge and her transformation at the hands of the three ghostly spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.
“Changing the gender of Scrooge has the potential to crack open this story in unexpected ways,” said Megan Watson, director of this season’s A CHRISTMAS CAROL and Grand Theatre Artistic Associate. “The core of the story is the same but with a female Scrooge this classic will evolve in ways that will ask our hearts to feel and minds to think differently about a story we know so well.”
“Our elaborate production overflows with joyful singing, dancing, and skating, along with gorgeous scenery and costumes. All in all, the best way to kick off your holiday celebrations.” – DENNIS GARNHUM, Artistic Director
