SUMMARY:Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Club Theatre Company is set to launch its holiday season with the uplifting musical Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol at the historic Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage. This returning audience favourite featuring music and lyrics by the iconic Dolly Parton as Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is reimagined and set in the Smoky Mountains during the 1930s. \nWith Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol\, Parton brings her signature storytelling and songwriting to one of the most timeless holiday tales\, creating a musical celebration of hope\, family\, and community that is perfect for the whole family. Set during the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee\, this heartwarming musical reimagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the owner of a mining company town\, where his callous greed blinds him to the joys of the season. As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches\, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who compel him to see life and love anew.
