Milwaukee Rep offers new take on local tradition with streaming versions of 'A Christmas Carol'

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- With in-person performances cancelled because of COVID-19, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater is offering a holiday season double header; a pair of Christmas Carol productions now available to stream from the comfort of your home.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Mike Strehlow shared his conversation with Lee Ernst, the accomplished actor who was invited back to familiar surroundings initially to play Scrooge. However because of the pandemic, he's now not only playing the cold-hearted miser, but his equally cranky business partner and a dozen other characters in a one-person retelling of the Dickens' classic called "Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol."
