A farmhouse. A dying patriarch. And a stranger who claims to be family — though no one will admit they know him.

Over one long night, a rural Illinois household's secrets rise to the surface, in this Pulitzer Prize–winning American Gothic from Sam Shepard. Behind the porch and picket fence lies decades of denial, and the lies a family tells to survive itself.

Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for Christmas, charity, or cheer. But on one cold Christmas Eve, the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, arrives with a warning. Before the night is over, Scrooge will be visited by three spirits who will take him through his past, present, and future, and show him what his miserly life has cost him and everyone around him.

A small ensemble brings dozens of characters to life with wit, theatrical ingenuity, and plenty of festive magic.
