About the Show
Alpha’s Scrooge is an original story about the son of the original Scrooge in ‘A Christmas Carol’, who has had some bad experiences with the holidays and, with the help of the somewhat superficial members of the town, finds the real meaning of the holidays, about love, kindness and family. It’s inclusive of all religions and holiday celebrations, so is appropriate for all types of groups of different and diverse backgrounds to experience!
Values Theme: TRUE MEANING OF THE HOLIDAYS

Want to have some fun these holidays whilst also learning how to go beyond the over-commercialisation of the silly season? This is the show for you!
