Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol to be staged at Theater at Monmouth

Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol by Tom Mula is planned for Nov. 23 through Dec. 3, at Theater at Monouth, 796 Main St. in Monmouth.

“Marley was dead, to begin with …” — and what happens to Ebenezer Scrooge’s mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that? Chained and shackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He’s even given his own private tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work. Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: To escape his own chains, he must first redeem Scrooge.

So begins a journey of laughter and terror, redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened; but not before Marley discovers his own.

Tickets cost $23-$30 or $10 Thanksgiving/Preview Night.
