A Cowboy Christmas Carol

There have been countless retellings of Charles Dickens' timeless story, "A Christmas Carol," but very few have a western twist. 

So, what do you get when you cross Ebenezer Scrooge with the Wild West? 

You’ll find out at the Cowboy Christmas Carol. 

Vancouver actor Dave Longworth plays Jeb, a calloused old cowboy, who is transformed on Christmas Eve. 

The play is supported through the music of cowboy singer/songwriter Rob Dinwoodie and his western band Open Range, who tastefully perform original and traditional songs as this classic story is portrayed in a unique way. 

"Together with Ken Mather, author, poet and historian, they will take you back to a simpler time, when Christmas was marked by horse-drawn sleighs, family gatherings, and country dances," says Dinwoodie.
 
Joining the band for the evening is the talented Anjuli Dynna, whose fiddle playing will immediately bring a smile to your face. 

From fast-paced, toe-tapping jigs to thoughtful and reflective songs of the season, this show will make Christmas one you’ll remember for years to come.
