McKinney Repertory Theatre (MRT) is excited to announce the return of its beloved annual production of A Christmas Carol, set to enchant audiences this holiday season.  Each season, more people are discovering this timeless story by Charles Dickens in a way that only MRT can tell, with families coming back year after year and making it a part of their holiday season traditions. In this show, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is taught the true meaning and spirit of Christmas by ghosts who show him his own past and present. He is also shown what the future holds for him if he doesn't change his ways. 

This year will mark MRT’s 19th production of local McKinney playwright, Dr. Andrew Harris’ one-hour adaptation of “A Christmas Carol”.  Every year, the MRT production features an array of local talent and young actors from the community, all volunteering their time and talent to work together to bring Charles Dickens' unforgettable tale of Ebenezer Scrooge to life.  Under the direction of Jennifer Lee, with Marilyn Latham as Assistant Director, this timeless classic promises to deliver the magic, heart, and message of redemption that has made it a must-see holiday tradition here in McKinney.
