Karamu House presents their unique twist on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with their latest production – Christmas is Comin’ Uptown. The story follows Scrooge, a Harlem slumlord, just before he’s about to foreclose on an apartment building, a rec center and a church.
As in Dickens’ story, he’s visited by his late partner and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present & Future. Karamu’s rendition includes an authentic, powerful gospel number in a Baptist church.
Directed by Richard A Morris, music by Garry Sherman, book by Philip Rose & Peter Udell.
