Commonwealth Shakespeare Company will continue its growing holiday tradition this December with the return of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at Boston's historic Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre, marking the second year of what organizers hope will become an annual Boston tradition. CSC's adaptation joins a nationwide surge of Christmas Carol productions this holiday season. The enduring popularity of Dickens' 1843 tale of redemption continues to draw audiences seeking holiday tradition and meaning. "We are excited for year two of our new holiday tradition," said Steven Maler, CSC's Founding Artistic Director, who also directs the production. The Boston production features an original adaptation by award-winning writer/director Steve Wargo, with traditional 19th-century carols arranged by Dianne Adams McDowell.
