It is 1899 and L. Frank Baum is trying to put the finishing touches on "The Wonnderful Wizard of Oz," but putting dreams
on paper is elusive business. Then, like the cyclone in his story, he sweeps his housekeeper and a little girl name Dot

wizard of Oz is Baum himself.

As the ghost of Jacob Marley foretold, three spirits appear to Ebenezer Scrooge as he falls asleep in his dingy quarters
on Christmas Eve. Revealing to Scrooge the wrong-doings of his life, each takes him on a journey that changes him from an
embittered miserly creature into a caring human being. The true meaning of the holiday season is brought to life in this
classic story that was Dickens' own favorite.

Inventive and energetic, this is a fresh retelling of the ancient story. Here, the grandiose Emperor has the wool pulled
over his eyes by young Roland and his cunning father who trick the Emperor and save their town from poverty. A play for the
young at heart from the author who founded the Children's Theatre Ensemble, and writes and directs at Disneyland.
