Acclaimed masked theatre troupe the WONDERHEADS will light up Vancouver stages this holiday season with A WONDERHEADS Christmas Carol, the company’s signature reimagining of the Charles Dickens classic.
A feast for the eyes, ears, and heart—with a generous kick to the funny bone—this astonishing production brings Ebenezer Scrooge’s magical Christmas Eve journey to life with giant masks, glowing ghosts, whimsical 10-foot-tall puppets, and wondrous theatrical invention.
A WONDERHEADS Christmas Carol was adapted and directed by Andrew Phoenix and Kate Braidwood. Now in its fifth year of touring, the show has become a festive tradition for thousands of theatregoers every winter.
This Western Canada tour includes stops at the Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver on December 11 and 12, and the Massey Theatre in New Westminster on December 13 and 14. For Vancouver Island audiences, the tour will also stop in Victoria and Nanaimo.
Tickets and more details are available through the WONDERHEADS.
