    A Christmas Carol

    'Tis the season to be jolly but Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge doesn't think so. Only the intervention of a host of ghosts can save the hard hearted old miser from his sinful ways. Join Scrooge, the Cratchits, the Fezziwigs, and a cast of over fifty urchins, carolers, spirits and shop keepers in this seasonal treat for the whole family.

    "What is most evident among this small army of theatre talents is the joy and commitment each actor, caroler, set builder, costume maker, ticket taker, etc, brings to this holiday tradition."
