As A Christmas Carol with a modern day twist, Humbug follows the story of Eleanor Scrooge, a ruthlessly ambitious Wall Street executive who has an aversion to Christmas and an insatiable appetite for power. Locked in her office on a snowy Christmas Eve, Eleanor is determined to finish a corporate-takeover proposal until three “advisors” provide her with an eye-opening new appreciation for the holidays and the spirit of Christmas. An upbeat and moving adaptation of Dickens’ holiday classic, Humbug is one for the ages. With a contemporary flair, it is a tale the whole family will enjoy!

“Wooten has indeed concocted a comedy that puts a great of deal of delicious nonsense into Charles Dickens’ most famous story...a multitude of laughs” - The Newark Star-Ledger

“Humbug is full of humor, warmth…a must see addition to the list of holiday classics” – The Home News Tribune

“A witty, timely, poignant script interspersed with upbeat Christmas carols and a timeless message of caring” – The Westfield Leader“Wooten has nicely shaped his fast paced and lively conceit into a 75-minute play while finding clever modern day equivalents for most of Dickens’ characters and situations, and even adding a principal thread of his own…pleasant, bright Christmas entertainment for the entire family” – Talkin’ Broadway

“The play is for the entire family. Adults will be moved by it, and it would make for a fascinating introduction to live theatre for five-year-olds and up” – Union Leader
