Boerne Community Theatre presents Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Boerne, Texas Christmas Show, a holiday fundraiser, Dec. 6-15. Written by Gordon Greenberg and Steven Rosen, directed by Jerry Watson, it features Allen Rudolph as Scrooge.
One of the season’s favorite tales is transformed into a gut-busting, fun and family friendly theatrical experience, incorporating the details of our own theater into the script.
Take a spin with Ebenezer, three ghosts, and Tiny Tim, in this music-filled show. Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Boerne, Texas Christmas Show is a comedy adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Featuring five actors and a minimal set, the performance is a theatrical adaptation of the classic ghost story.
