Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre stages a holiday favorite – a toy-puppet theater take on Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol, with Czech accents and a few twists. The show has moved online only for the duration of its run.

Into the familiar story is woven a surprising and delightful blend of English, Jewish, African, American and Czech winter rituals and customs, all performed by over three dozen marionettes ranging in size from four to twenty-four inches, as well as found objects and toys. Mr. Horejs operates the whole cast of puppets, backed up by a live chorus: an "a capella monumentale" choir of Katarina Vizina (a transplant from Slovakia) and Valois Mickens (West African/Celtic/Native American origin).
