A Christmas Carol with a modern day twist ...

Humbug follows the story of Eleanor Scrooge, a ruthlessly ambitious Wall Street executive who has an aversion to Christmas and an insatiable appetite for power

Locked in her office on a snowy Christmas Eve, Eleanor is determined to finish a corporate-takeover proposal until three "advisors" provide her with an eye-opening new appreciation for the holidays and the spirit of Christmas

An upbeat and moving adaptation of Dickens' holiday classic, Humbug is one for all ages - with a contemporary flair, it's a tale the whole family will enjoy!

"Wooten has indeed concocted a comedy that puts a great of deal of delicious nonsense into Charles Dickens' most famous story ... a multitude of laughs" ~ The Newark Star-Ledger

"Humbug is full of humor, warmth ... a must see addition to the list of holiday classics" ~ The Home News Tribune

"A witty, timely, poignant script interspersed with upbeat Christmas carols and a timeless message of caring" ~ The Westfield Leader

"The play is for the entire family. Adults will be moved by it, and it would make for a fascinating introduction to live theatre for five-year-olds and up" Union Leader
