The displays include engaging depictions of classic Dickens-era scenes and figures such as Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, the town crier, groups of carolers (that actually “sing” classic carols!), a bucket brigade, lamplighters, school children, street peddlers, and Father Christmas, all posed in active scenes that appear frozen in time.

"The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge"

Cambridge Performing Arts Centre
642 Wheeling Ave, Cambridge

Shows will be held December 3-5 and 17-19
Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm, Sunday at 3 pm

The Trial of the Century! A year after his miraculous transformation, 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.  When all is said and done, the audience is reminded that the spirit of caring and giving should be every day, not just once a year. Adults $10, Seniors and students $8, children under 3 free. Information: 740-432-7958 or
