Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol

Set in the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, this musical reimagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the callous owner of a mining company town. As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who lead him to discover the joy of love and the holiday season. The production combines classic Dickens characters with the songwriting of eleven-time GRAMMY winner Dolly Parton.
