Mrs Scrooge: In this present day version of A Christmas Carol we see miserly, money hungry and power ridden Ebba N. Scrooge. She is estranged from her nephew Fred, a complete nightmare to her employees, and preferring software programs to people. Set in modern day Manhattan, while retaining much of the original Dickens flavor, to that end Ebba has just one Christmas Eve to learn the true meaning of the season and warm her cold uncaring heart.

Directed by Peter Mac, Mrs Scrooge also features Leon Hall, Aaron Lee Battle, Robert H. Fowler, Marla Green, Frantz Hall, Jean Ann Kump, Noelle Pasatieri and Jay Rogers. Lara Parker plays the evil Witch 'Angelique' on ABC's cult classic soap opera 'Dark Shadows'.
