A Christmas Carol by Hale Centre Theatre

Hale Center Theatre Presents A Christmas Carol, Utah, West Valley

A Utah Christmas Favorite

Deemed ‘Utah’s #1 Christmas Theatre Tradition’!

Parents, who once came as children – are now returning with their children to witness the miracle of Ebenezer Scrooge’s change of heart.  Charles Dickens’s important tale of redemption and forgiveness is splendidly retold through Richard G. Wilkins’ rich adaptation and Barlow Bradford’s stunning choral arrangements and orchestrations.  The costumes and sets are spectacular.

A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol, Hale Theatre, Orem, Utah

Often lauded as the “second greatest Christmas story ever told,” Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol will usher you into the season of giving. This traditional story of Scrooge and his ghostly visitors is filled with old-world charm, beautiful costumes, breathtaking music, and, of course, a full helping of Hale’s heart and comedy.

No Christmas Season is complete without the din of family dinners, glorious games, magical mistletoe, caroling carolers, firkins of wassail, and Dickens’ timeless characters that embody Christmas cheer: Bob Cratchit, Mr. Scrooge, three Christmas ghosts, and of course, Tiny Tim. Whether you have seen it once, fifty times, or more, Hale Center Theater Orem invites you to be their guest for an evening as you escape all the noise, commercialism, and greed that have invaded this time of year so you can remember what the season is all about.
