Sioux Falls, SD…. The Premiere Playhouse’s production of A Christmas Carol opens Thursday, December 2nd, 7pm at the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Sioux Falls.
This timeless holiday classic, written by Charles Dickens over 177 years ago and published on December 14, 1843, continues to inspire and challenge humankind to use our time wisely.
With a licensed script used by the Guthrie Theater, written by Crispin Whittell, this adaptation is particularly creative and charged with emotion, a bit of comedy, frighteningly dark, and ultimately joyous.
The Premiere Playhouse, formerly known as the Sioux Empire Community Theatre, has made a substantial investment in the design and construction of Broadway-esque set, professionally crafted period costumes, and has assembled an exceptionally talented cast and crew drawn from the Sioux Empire community. With state-of-the-art special effects and a theater adorned in Dickensian decoration, both inside and out, audiences will enter into the world of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly curmudgeon and witness his transformation.
The Premiere Playhouse is excited to bring you this inaugural performance of Crispin Whittle’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol and hopes it will become a “must see” holiday tradition for years to come.
Tickets are on sale, $30 for adults, $15 for students and are available online at the Washington Pavilion Box Office: A CHRISTMAS CAROL
