Charles Dickens's most popular, most beloved tale, A Christmas Carol, tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation from miser to philanthropist after being visited by the spirits of Christmases Past, Present, and Future. The story has inspired hundreds of portrayals in film, television, ballet, and opera. Choreographer Marla Hirokawa will add her interpretation to this list—with a twist. The new ballet Charles’ Carol puts the Christmas story in the context of Dickens's own childhood poverty that shaped his empathy for the poor and paved the way for this timeless story to be penned.
