A Country Christmas Carol is a 2-act musical comedy that the whole family will enjoy—an ideal Christmas present from your theatre to your community. Scrooge has moved to the American West and changed his name from Ebenezer to G. R. ("Greedy and Rotten," according to his victims). "Bah, humbug!" has become "Bull!" But this musical relates the same message as the Dickens classic: Greed is bad; love is good; money is not what makes a person rich. Lovable characters—the angelic Cratchits, Sadie the Sodi-Pop Saloon owner; Belle, the heartthrob of a younger, happier Scrooge; Sister Sybil, a tambourine-totin' evangelist, and others—all juicy roles for lively, vivacious performers.
