Trinity Repertory Company’s production of “A Christmas Carol” is undergoing a major change this year as it moves to the Providence Performing Arts Center due to renovations at Trinity’s usual venue. The move to a larger space with a 3,100 seating capacity marks a significant shift for the long-running holiday tradition. Anne Scurria, a longtime company member, takes on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for the fourth time, reflecting on the character’s journey and transformation over the years. Scurria emphasizes the timeless appeal of Charles Dickens’ story of redemption and personal growth, particularly in today’s divisive climate. She finds the portrayal of an older woman reflecting on her choices and missed opportunities to be particularly moving. Despite the change in venue, the heartwarming tale of Scrooge’s encounters with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future remains at the core of the production, offering audiences a fresh perspective on the beloved classic.
