  • 1.  A Christmas Carol

    Have any of you produced an updated version of "A Christmas Carol" that you really loved the script for??  I know there are a lot out there, but I also know putting it out to the forum will whittle it down for me before I start reading scripts.  Always a time saver!

    I like the Mencken Christmas Carol, but am here to suggest The Christmas Schooner since you're in MI.

    Here's an excerpt from the synopsis:

    "Based on the historic Great Lakes voyages of Christmas tree ships during the late 1800's and early 1900's, The Christmas Schooner tells the true story of a Michigan shipping captain who braves the deadly winter weather to bring Christmas trees to homesick German American families in turn-of-the-century Chicago. His voyages become a yearly tradition despite his wife's misgivings - until a fateful voyage makes her realize the true importance of his mission."
