Step into the spirit of the holidays as the TERI Players bring Charles Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol" to life in a moving, joy-filled production for all ages. Ebenezer Scrooge (Aiden Bolt) is a wealthy but bitter man who despises Christmas and cares only for money. He mistreats his kind-hearted clerk, Bob Cratchit (Cameron Morning), ignores his cheerful nephew (Jesse Rivas), and turns away charity solicitors (Tim Sangster and Kristiana Scarpace). But on Christmas Eve, a chilling visit from his late business partner, Jacob Marley (Nolan Levinson), sets Scrooge on a journey through time with three mysterious spirits—the Ghost of Christmas Past (Moorea Howson), the Ghost of Christmas Present (Stevie Evoy), and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (CJ Rodriguez). Through their lessons, Scrooge witnesses the cost of his cold heart and the hope of redemption before it’s too late. Experience this classic tale of generosity, family, and holiday spirit—beautifully performed by the TERI Players! The TERI Players are a dynamic ensemble of individuals from our Center for the Arts Day Program for adults on the TERI Campus of Life who shine on stage with the support of our TERI Theatre & Performing Arts Pro Team.
