The Zoot Theatre Company, Dayton’s only professional puppetry and mask company will produce Charles Dicken’s classic tale A CHRISTMAS CAROL in the Dayton Art Institute’s NCR Renaissance Auditorium, Zoot’s new home. A CHRISTMAS CAROL opens on Friday, November 30. This haunting tale of Scrooge and Marley is given new life in this all new production! This adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas story will feature a small cast of live actors and tone of puppets to help bring this age-old story to life. Get carried away this holiday season and remember that you’re never too old to make a change …it just might take a few ghosts to help.
