## About

Salem Trolley and The Gallows Hill Theatre mark the 40th season of their interactive A Christmas Carol, a humorous, whimsical retelling of Dickens performed while the audience rides through Salem with Scrooge on the trolley. It is a compact, moving show that keeps children engaged because the scenes change around them, and weekend matinees at 2:00, 3:15 and 4:30 pm suit families with younger kids; weekday shows start at 5:45 pm. Tickets are $36 per person, seats are limited and performances often sell out, so book ahead. Check in inside Timeless Life Treasures on Wharf Street 15 minutes before your departure.
