About the event
Ebenezer Scrooge Is Back in Town:
‘A Gilbert & Sullivan Christmas Carol’ Returns to Long Island
It was 30 years ago this December that an unheralded play called A Gilbert & Sullivan Christmas Carol had its world premiere at a church in Garden City. Since then that play has been seen in dozens of productions around the world, including a hit Off-Broadway production in 2001, and now the show’s 30th-anniversary production is returning to Long Island for five shows.
Directed by author Gayden Wren and music-directed by Stephen O’Leary—the same team that helmed the 2001 Off-Broadway production hailed by The New York Times as “Extremely funny … Sure to warm more than one cold heart” and by The New Yorker as “The old tale newly interesting—and a lot more fun”—the 30th-anniversary production will be seen at Freeport United Methodist Church on Saturday, December 21, at 7:30 p.m.
