Rome Little Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Carol” will open Friday, Nov. 30 at the historic DeSoto Theatre in downtown Rome. The show will run the weekends of Nov. 30 and Dec. 7, with Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m.

"A Christmas Carol" is Charles Dickens’ classic story about Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy, selfish, and unfeeling businessman who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future show Scrooge his more innocent past and what will become of his future if he continues his miserly ways. These encounters change Scrooge’s heart toward Christmas and his family and neighbors, including his underpaid and overworked clerk, Bob Cratchit.

The show is directed by David Clonts and produced by Suzanne Clonts and features Brian Hales as Scrooge, Wain Bates as the narrator, Michael Hillman as Fred, Brian Inman as Bob Cratchit, and Zach Gurley as Tiny Tim.
