Scrouge is a Christmas musical and a bilingual and multimedia experience for young audiences. At the end of a two year young audience residency, the French Institute commissioned an exceptional Christmas show with Exchange Theatre for the Ciné Lumière, their main auditorium. With songs and video design, Exchange Theatre brought you this incredible bilingual show for two Christmases in a row, by popular demand.

Theater stage with four actors performing a scene. The background has shelves filled with books and various props. A large screen above displays a disco ball.
