December 4 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge
by Mark Brown
Dec. 4-12, 2026
Main Stage, Family, Holiday
Written by Mark Brown, this zany holiday comedy takes place one year after the events in A Christmas Carol. Ebenezer Scrooge is back to his old ways and is suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. The ghosts employ Solomon Rothschild, England’s most charismatic, savvy, and clever barrister. Scrooge, that old penny pincher, represents himself. One by one, Bob Cratchit, Scrooge’s nephew Fred, solicitor and philanthropist Sara Anne Wainwright, and the ghosts themselves take the witness stand to give their account of the night in question.
Since 1952, the Aiken Community Theatre (ACT), a nonprofit organization, has strived to entertain, educate, and enrich the community by providing quality theatre experiences.
