Based on the novel by Charles Dickens
A Pollard Theatre Original which never fails to delight audiences year after year! Adapted by gifted Oklahoma playwright, Stephen P. Scott, this version of Charles Dickens' classic tale of redemption and brotherly love is set in the days of the Oklahoma Land Run. The Pollard's all-time bestseller, A Territorial Christmas Carol continues to dazzle audiences and play to sold-out houses into its twenty-third year, so be sure to buy your tickets early.

Willum Cubbert has never met Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI who saved his life in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as long as he is alive, "you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you"—so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless "nerd"—a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and even less tact.
