A Tlingit Christmas CarolA Christmas Carol just got a lot more Tlingit! We’ve all heard the classic story: it’s Christmas, there are spirits involved, a grumpy man says “Bah, humbug…” But what would happen if that story took place right here, right now in Southeast Alaska? E.B. Scrooge is a successful, wealthy business person, but he’s not the nicest guy in town. In fact, most of the time, he’s downright mean. Can he learn to become a better person? Can he avoid the same tragic fate as his old friend Marley? Carol your way through this holiday classic, with a very Tlingit twist! A Tlingit Christmas Carol, written by Vera Starbard, directed by Madeline Sayet, and featuring music composed by Ed Littlefield, will be released in streamed staves approximately 20 minutes each on: November 27, December 4, December 11, and December 18 at 7 p.m. AKT, and on Christmas morning, December 25 at 10 a.m. This production is family friendly and FREE.
