THE ALLIANCE THEATRE takes its annual musical, multicultural A Christmas Carol back to Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre for a second holiday season. Scrooge, Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come will tell the story of an aging miser who discovers a better way to live his life. Many familiar faces return in what is the Alliance’s 29th telling of the tale, including David de Vries as Scrooge, Neal Ghant as Bob Cratchit, Courtney Patterson as Christmas Past, Bart Hansard as Fezziwig, Andrew Benator as Marley and a number of ensemble members. The Alliance’s Christmas Carol is an Atlanta tradition, and the caroling is magnificent. Our dealz are good Dec. 14-22. (Photos by Greg Mooney)
