DENVER — A Colorado holiday tradition is celebrating its 30th anniversary at the Denver Performing Arts Complex.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) Theatre Company will stage "A Christmas Carol" from Friday, Nov. 22, through Sunday, Dec. 29, at the Wolf Theatre.
Based on Charles Dickens' classic novel, the Denver musical adaptation traces curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge's triumphant overnight journey to redemption.
“Every A Christmas Carol is extra special, but this year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Colorado’s favorite holiday tradition,” said Artistic Director Chris Coleman.
“I am thrilled to share this extraordinary production filled with warmth and joy with our community every season. Whether you have attended every season, or you are starting a new tradition, we can’t wait to spend the holidays with you.”
Tickets are on sale now at DenverCenter.org.
