Florida Rep Education is ringing in the season with a show that turns a beloved holiday classic on its head. The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge is a clever, high-energy comedy that picks up one year after Scrooge’s legendary change of heart… except he’s not feeling so jolly anymore.
This time, Scrooge is dragging Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future into court. The charges? Breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder, and—because Scrooge is thorough—the intentional infliction of emotional distress. What unfolds from there is a surprising, laugh-packed courtroom showdown that spirals into heartfelt moments, nostalgic flashbacks, and warm reminders of why Dickens’ original tale endures.
It’s witty, it’s spirited, and as the Allentown Morning Call says, it’s “clever and full of heart!”
And this year, it’s more of a family event than ever.
