Written by Chris Sorensen & Chris Armbrister, with beautiful original score and music by James Mablin, this adaptation breathes new life into A Christmas Carol with a historical twist that’s uniquely Cripple Creek.

Enjoy original songs, historical characters, real locales, heartfelt comedy, and a timeless message of love and generosity. This isn’t just a play – it’s a journey. Immerse yourself in the magic of Cripple Creek, where history and holiday spirit collide to create an unforgettable celebration of Christmas.
