Inspired by the timeless Dickens’ classic, The Unplugged Christmas Carol features Eva, a corporate leader who is trapped in a digital dystopia, her life dictated by her phone. One fateful Christmas Eve, she receives a church service invitation but chooses to work instead, falling asleep at her desk. Suddenly, the three Christmas Spirits appear, whisking her away on a transformative journey. Through mesmerizing dance sequences, Eva confronts the stark emptiness of her tech-driven existence. She awakens to the true meaning of Christmas, rediscovering the warmth of human connection and the festive spirit she had lost. This thrilling tale is a modern reminder of the magic that comes from unplugging, reconnecting with what truly matters, and knowing that Jesus truly is the reason for the season!
The Unplugged Christmas Carol is an original dance production written, choreographed, and directed by Grace Mae Bell.
