Don't miss the 2011 presentation of

The Gospel According to SCROOGE

This delightful Christmas musical, based on “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, will be staged at the multi-million dollar, Marion Cultural and Civic Center on Tower Square in downtown Marion, IL on Thursday, December 15 through Sunday, December 18.  

The storyline traces the life of miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. His work, greed, broken relationships, and eventual conversion are told through spectacular songs, backed by a colorful musical score by composers, John Worre & Tom Elie.

Join Scrooge as he is escorted by three spirits to relive his past, encounter the present, and ponder his impending future fate.  The musical culminates in Scrooge’s profession of faith and realization of the importance of keeping Christ in Christmas.

With a cast & crew of over 100, this unforgettable Holiday presentation, complete with lavish costumes and sets, is a Christmas delight for the whole family.

Join the thousands from the tri-state region who make it a part of their family's Christmas tradition!
