Bah! Humbug! Scrooge is back at the Wyly
Dallas Theater Center has staged its holiday show A Christmas Carol for decades, and even though the script has stayed mostly the same for a decade, a rotating cast and director keep it fresh. This year, Tiffany Nicole Greene directs Alex Organ as Ebenezer Scrooge in this incarnation of DTC artistic director Kevin Moriarty’s adaptation, which for the 11th year also served as a fundraiser for the North Texas Food Bank.
