If you are among the few who have never witnessed this production it is high time for you to come see it. For the rest, gather the clan and make the pilgrimage to the Mimi Ohio for a shared experience. It is after all what Christmas is all about, the gathering of family...God Bless us Everyone!

Lorain native Gerald Freedman's script at times stalls on heavy narration, but The Great Lakes Theater production, nearing its 40th anniversary,  nevertheless reminds us of the beauteous prose of one of the world's most cherished novelists. So, by all means, join the fictitious "Cleaveland Family" onstage as they reencounter a magical and mythical nocturnal Yuletide dream.

It’s no wonder Charles Dickens’ wonderful classic, A Christmas Carol, returns annually to Cleveland. And it’s also no wonder every year the merry GLT troupe moves from the Hanna to the Mimi Ohio Theatre (yes, this is the 37th year there) to tell the story. The Mimi Ohio stage, crafted for Scrooge over the years, sports trap doors, a rear stage wall that splits open (to Hell as well as to cheery Christmas spirits), and hissing fog machines.

The staging is as dazzling as ever: swirling smoke, sudden bursts of light and entrances that defy explanation. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come remains the show’s signature effect — a towering, shrouded figure with a Dementor-like presence that never fails to draw oohs and ahhs.
