Part of the Broadway In Roanoke Series Presented by Nederlander & Sponsored by First Bank

WHAT: The timeless story of A Christmas Carol gets a Blue Ridge Mountain twist in Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, coming to the Berglund Performing Arts Theatre on November 25 as part of the Broadway In Roanoke Series presented by Nederlander & sponsored by First Bank.

Set in 1930s East Tennessee, this heartwarming musical reimagines Ebenezer Scrooge as a cold-hearted mining company owner whose greed has left his community — and his own spirit — in darkness. With songs by 11-time GRAMMY winner Dolly Parton, the show brings together the storytelling charm of Dickens and the soul of the Smoky Mountains in a celebration of redemption, family, and love.

Audiences will enjoy a night filled with original Dolly Parton songs, stunning performances, and a spirit-lifting message that captures the heart of the holiday season.
