A Christmas Carol will be the second play in this season’s 4 Play Drama Series at Keyano Theatre, with show dates in November. The Charles Dickens classic tale will be re-told by community volunteers in the adaptation script written by last season’s Les Misérables Director Claude A. Giroux and directed by newcomer Jacqueline Russell from Calgary.
