Lifeline Theatre brings their first MainStage production of the 2024-25 season to the stage with Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol. Tom Mula’s holiday tale is presented as a one-man show, starring Lifeline ensemble member Phil Timberlake.
In Dickens’ Christmas Carol, Scrooge gets a chance to amend his ways, but we never find out what happened to his partner, Jacob Marley. Audiences can find out at Lifeline Theatre’s production of Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol, a one-man show written by Goodman Theatre’s own Scrooge, Tom Mula, and performed by longtime Chicago actor and Lifeline Ensemble member, Phil Timberlake. This holiday tale features one actor, nineteen characters and two hours of good cheer.
