Scrooge Heads to the Smokies
The Dickens story you know relocates to the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee in the 1930s. Scrooge owns a mining company town there, and his callous greed has him blind to the joys and gifts of the season. Same old Scrooge, new zip code.

Then his deceased business partner comes calling, followed by three ghosts. Together they push him to see life anew, and somewhere along the way he figures out that love is the gift that matters most.
Dickens’ Ghosts, Dolly’s Songs
You get Dickens’ classic characters paired with the songwriting of 11-time Grammy winner Dolly Parton. Is there a better way to warm up a frozen heart? We’d argue no.
