Spirits haunt every aspect of Nathan Granner's one man production of Dicken's Christmas Carol adapted by Peter Bodine. This fresh interpretation of the traditional favorite is akin to the Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Winters, Orson Wells, radio drama variety with songs and carols setting the mood and forwarding the action. There are no big budget sets, props or costumes.

These wise women have voices, and they use them.
