Following a dynamite 25th anniversary return of the popular award-winning musical “Mamma Mia!” come two more gems of the theater world: “A Christmas Carol” and “Hamilton.”

We go back to Adrian Hall’s first production of “A Christmas Carol” in 1976, and have reviewed every performance, always marveling at the ingenuity of the various directors.

With major renovations taking place in Trinity’s upstairs theatre, Lynn Singleton has opened the PPAC stage for their production of the annual Dickens’ classic. This is the first collaboration between our two great Providence theatres.

With “Hamilton” also scheduled to return to PPAC for the third time, some adjustments of dates needed to be made.

Trinity’s “A Christmas Carol” will open on Nov. 23 and run through Dec. 4.

“Hamilton” moves in for a Dec. 11-22 run, with Dickens’ classic returning Dec. 26-29.

Anne Scurria returns this year as Scrooge. We have seen her in the role, and she is terrific. Scurria has performed in over 100 Trinity plays. This is her fourth time playing Scrooge.

While there are fewer performances of “A Christmas Carol” this year, there are more seats to accommodate large audiences.

Richard Gemma IV of Cranston and Olivia Jarbadan of Warwick will appear in the show.

Tickets for both shows are available at the Providence Performing Arts box office or www.ppacri.org/events.
