Burien Actors Theatre (BAT) brings laughter to the season with their Northwest premiere of the holiday comedy The Past, a Present Yet to Come, written by Matt Schatz.

In this irreverent imagining of how Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol came to be written, a young entrepreneur in Victorian London sets out to produce a play that will soften his Uncle Ebenezer Scrooge’s hard heart. He turns to no-nonsense theatre producer J.B. Roth, who engages a broke, philandering Dickens. Are there ulterior motives for this unlikely mission to save Scrooge?

The Past, a Present Yet to Come contains a little adult language and some adult content.

There is plenty of free on-site parking—follow the signs into the parking lot and around the buildings to the entrance, which is in back.

If ticket pricing is a barrier, reach out to BAT at Tickets@BATtheatre.org—theater is for everyone!

The Past, a Present Yet to Come is supported in part by 4Culture and the City of Burien.
