Here’s the synopsis:

Elana Scrooge has built a successful cosmetic empire on the backs of the people she’s had to step on as she ascended to the top. For one night, three Oak Cliff spirits give Elana a reality check and attempt to show her the err of her ways. Set to be a holiday classic, An Oak Cliff Carol tells the familiar Dickens story through R&B, gospel and soul music.

King adapted the play and directs.

The production stars JuNene K as “Elana Scrooge,” and Christian Goodwine as “Little Gary,” plus Tyler Fite, Lequasha Harden, L’Paige Bedford, Branon Gilbert, Carrmina Barnett, Rhonda Francis, Dameron Growe, Erryn Jackson and Makayla King.

The show runs Dec. 16-24 at the theater on Hutchins Road.
