Manual Cinema’s awe-inspiring, one-of-a-kind rendition of the Dickens classic returns to the Studebaker Theater this holiday season!
Avowed holiday skeptic Aunt Trudy has been reluctantly recruited to carry on her late husband Joe’s tradition of spreading Christmas cheer. Alone in her Chicago home on Christmas Eve, she reconstructs his annual Christmas Carol puppet show over a Zoom call, while the family celebrates from afar. But as Trudy dives deeper into the story, the puppets take on a life of their own and the family call transforms into a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind cinematic reimagining of Dickens’s classic ghost story.
Featuring hundreds of handmade puppets, immersive sound design and live music, Manual Cinema’s Christmas Carol is a holiday show unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
When: December 12-28 (Various show times)
Where: Studebaker Theater, Fine Arts Building (410 S Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60605)
