A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens adapted by Rebecca Remaly at Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company BETC

May 22, 2019

A Christmas Carol
By Charles Dickens
Adapted and directed by Rebecca Remaly

BETC brings the famed holiday classic to Boulder.

In this story of redemption, apathy transforms into empathy; condemnation changes to compassion; belligerence becomes benevolence. Fun, funny, frightening, and fantastic, BETC’s A Christmas Carol will remind you of the kindness and compassion that lives in us all. Even Scrooge.

Age Restrictions: Children under six years old are not permitted into the theater. We do not allow babes-in-arms.

Viewer Discretion: At BETC, we recognize that not everyone likes to be surprised, and we acknowledge that some may be negatively triggered by certain conversations, themes, or actions. Therefore, we are providing comprehensive synopses of each play. Please note, these synopses contain spoilers! Read the synopses.
