CHRISTMAS IS COMIN’ UPTOWN

Join Us For A Festive Time!
Christmas Is Comin’ Uptown, co-written by well known authors Philip Rose and Peter Udell, based upon the traditional story of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, gets a soulful, jazzy and colorful makeover depicting Scrooge as a Harlem slumlord who is about to foreclose on a tenement house and a church when a surprise visit from an "old friend" and some groovy ghosts encourage him to reconsider. Plenty of music and dance to get you in the right holiday spirit. This musical provides the audience with the opportunity to engage themselves in what life would be like if we approached it unselfishly and with greater intent on becoming the best human being that we all can be.
