A WONDERHEADS Christmas Carol


  • Decidedly Jazz Dance Studio 111 12 Avenue Southeast Calgary, AB, T2G 0Z9 Canada (map)

Acclaimed theatrical imagineers the WONDERHEADS present their delightfully captivating reimagining of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, with giant masks, whimsical puppets, and wondrous theatrical invention.

A feast for the eyes, ears, heart and funny bone, this astonishing production features larger than life characters, glowing ghosts, and 10-foot-tall puppets – to name just a few of the treats in store for audiences as they are whisked away with Ebenezer Scrooge on his magical Christmas Eve adventure. Prepare to laugh, cry, and be utterly enchanted this holiday season!

Visual storytelling virtuosos the WONDERHEADS have spent more than a decade touring the world to critical acclaim and sold-out audiences who describe the experience as watching animation come to life. They have garnered six Critics’ Choice Awards and twelve Best of Fest awards, making it their business to step beyond words and into the hearts and imaginations of every audience member.

In what the CBC describes as “Captivating and magical,” the unforgettable experience of a WONDERHEADS show is not to be missed.

Running time: 70 minutes, no intermission.
