Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol
Audiences experience a regional retelling of the classic holiday tale set in the 1930s Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, imagining Ebenezer Scrooge as the greedy owner of a mining company town. As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches, Scrooge is visited by his deceased business partner and three ghosts who push him to rediscover the importance of love and community. The theatrical production pairs Charles Dickens' classic story with music and lyrics written by Dolly Parton.
