This mile-a-minute, rap-fueled, DJ-spin take… is unlike anything you might imagine Dickens could be

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

A Chicago tradition it would be a mistake to miss out on this holiday season

CHICAGO STAGE STANDARD

Chicago hip hop sensations, the Q Brothers Collective, heat up the holiday season with a wildly entertaining ad-rap-tation of Charles Dickens’ classic. The crew mashes up hip hop with contemporary musical styles, ranging from reggae to dancehall music, dubstep, and epic rock ballads—all underscored with beats spun live by a DJ. Brighten your festivities with some cheeky spirit and a whole lot of heart. Fully decked out in the holiday spirit, The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare is strewn with more than two miles of twinkling lights as the Ghosts of hip hop Past, Present, and Future lead Scrooge on a journey of rhythm, rhyme, and redemption.

Chicago Shakespeare is committed to making its performances accessible to all patrons. Audio Description and Open Captioning services are available.
