Dueling Scrooges dominate local stages this month, scowling their way toward eleventh-hour enlightenment. The New Rep’s production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (December 10-24), features local faves such as Leigh Barrett and Steve Barkhimer accompanying themselves (a la the new Sweeney Todd); the North Shore Music Theatre version, A Christmas Carol, A Musical Ghost Story (December 2-24), presents Broadway vet George Dvorsky in his 14th turn as the Ghost of Christmas Present; and in Trinity Rep’s 29th annual A Christmas Carol, company stalwarts William Damkoehler and Timothy Crowe alternate as Scrooge in this double-cast production.
