A 'Camden Christmas Carol'

The Rutgers-Camden Center for the Arts and the Knight Foundation are proud to present the stage debut of new holiday tradition - ”A Camden Christmas Carol.” Directed by Barry Moore and written by local playwright Sarah O'Neill, this production reinterprets Dickens' tale of historic Camden Towne and the journey of Ben Scrooge from darkness into light. The production featuring Jean-Ronald LaFond in the lead role, and a creative team of multimedia experts bring the city of Camden to life with historic images, film, sound, and dazzling special effects. The result is an innovative interpretation of the classic tale that holds special meaning - not just for the Camden, but for the entire Delaware Valley region.
