The award-winning Dad's Garage Ensemble reimagines 'A Christmas Carol' as an original show with a surprise character, as an official Atlanta Pride event.
Dad's Garage Ensemble is bringing Invasion: A Christmas Carol to Dad's Garage Theatre on Thursday, December 3, from 8 PM to 9:30 PM. It's an official Atlanta Pride event, so it's part of the city's Pride celebrations.
On the surface, it's Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but the ensemble treats it as an original show that skewers and twists the quintessential holiday play. Scrooge and his Dickensian universe are visited by the usual ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, but there's a catch: each performance brings in a new, wacky surprise character. Past invaders have included Ursula the sea witch from The Little Mermaid, the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thanos, William Shakespeare, and Macho Man Randy Savage. The surprise is something even the cast can't predict, so the show unfolds in a new and unpredictable way every night.
Because of that, no two performances are the same. The core story stays, but the guest star changes the energy and the jokes, and the cast has to roll with whatever walks through the door. If you've seen it once, you're still going in blind the next time.
