Valley Center Stage is excited to announce the return of A Christmas Carol, a timeless story of joyful redemption written by Charles Dickens and adapted for the stage by Paul Sills. This heartwarming holiday tale for all ages follows the life of Scrooge, a miserly man rigid with resentment, who finds guidance from the Christmas spirit.

Gary Schwartz, founder of Valley Center Stage, returns as the director. He first introduced this production to the Valley. Now in its 9th season, “A Christmas Carol” has become an audience favorite, with sold-out performances throughout its run.

“A Christmas Carol” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Dec. 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17. There will also be a 2 p.m. matinee at 2 p.m., Sunday Dec. 11. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime for each performance.

Valley Center Stage is located at 119 W. North Bend Way, North Bend. Tickets are $17.50 for adults; $14 for senior/students, and are available online at http://bit.ly/2f8qEXz, or at the door.
