The Christmas Carol Rag

The Bastrop Opera House presents "The Christmas Carol Rag" directed by Chester Eitze and Musical Director Les Young. In a spunky take on the Dickens classic, the story of Scrooge's redemption is set in the exciting, ragtime world of New York, circa 1911. Evelyn Scrooge runs her sweatshop with an iron fist but slowly opens her heart as she is visited by a Yiddish-spouting Ghost of Christmas Past and a gospel-wailing Ghost of Christmas Present. " Wildly funny and deeply moving, The Christmas Carol Rag brings a new twist to an old chestnut.
