Christmas ghosts descend on Civic
Last updated at 11:26, Tuesday, 06 November 2012
THE Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future are visiting Whitehaven Civic Hall this week.
The talented young cast from Whitehaven Theatre of Youth are performing Ebenezer – a take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
The miserly Ebenezer ‘Bah Humbug’ Scrooge is the star in this tale of redemption that has become a defining tale of the Christmas holiday.
The youth theatre is performing this musical play in the 200th anniversary of Dickens’ birth, and it features a catchy score and a wealth of musical styles, including rock ‘n’ roll, blues, rap, ballads and carols.
The show starts on Wednesday and runs until Saturday, nightly at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £8 (or £6 concessions) from the Civic in person, call 01946 514960 or visit www.civichall.org.
