📸 Alley Theatre
A Christmas Carol Houston
Alley Theatre presents the holiday CLASSIC a Christmas Carol! Follow along with the Charles Dickens story with Alley Theatre’s unique twist! When two actors cannot make it to the performance, the rest of the group takes over and creates their version of the grouchy and greedy Scrooge and his transformation to become kind-hearted through adventures with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. This is the perfect event to attend with the family after a long day of Black Friday shopping.

Houston Pro Tip ✨
Edna’s Pro Tip:
Houston honestly has so much to offer! It’s hard to be able to see it all in one week, let alone just one weekend. I’ve lived here since elementary school, not counting a couple of years I was out for college, but even now it’s truly hard to see EVERYTHING.
I love that about HOUSTON because you can truly be bored unless you just don’t know where to look. Well, we help with that at UNATION // Stuff to Do in Houston and we love showing you all the fun things this city has to offer.
