About the Show
Scrooge’s Christmas Eve journey with the three ghosts, told entirely through masks, giant puppets, movement, music and projections. Kate Braidwood plays Scrooge, with a small cast switching between Marley, the Cratchits, the Fezziwigs and the ghosts. Because there’s no dialogue, it works for kids, grandparents and visitors whose first language isn’t English.
Tips
- Pair it with the island. Walk the Granville Island holiday lights before or after.
