December 2025

Adapted by Zak Berkman from Charles Dickens
Original Music by Zak Berkman
Arrangements by Mitch Chakour
Directed by Molly Rosa Houlahan

People’s Light’s original musical adaptation of this classic tale illuminates the power of community, connection, and generosity overcoming loneliness and fear: a story that reaches far beyond Dickens’ original writing or any single time of year, and into our lives today. Audiences who attended in 2023 will recognize the music and the text, but a new creative team and design will provide a fresh approach to this year’s staging.
