So begins the “real ” story behind Charles Dickens’A Christmas Carol – the tale of Jacob Marley’s heroic behind-the-scenes efforts to save old Scrooge’s soul & in the process, his own.

This irreverent, funny & ultimately deeply moving story retells Dickens’ classic with warmth & infectious zest. A thrilling performance that’s sure to become a holiday classic for generations to come!

It’s noon, June 6, 1944. A 19-year-old Jewish kid from Chicago crawls up the beach at Normandy. How does he survive one near miss after another, anti-Semitism in his own ranks, suicide missions – all to become the last man standing from his original platoon? Art Herzberg’s daughter Amy asks just that, literally stepping into a pair of combat boots to portray her father’s war. TheatreSquared’s playwright-in-residence brings the world premiere of this riveting, often humorous, profoundly moving play to Northwest Arkansas.
