Synopsis
“Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone, Scrooge! a squeezing,
wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp
as flint, secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within
him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened
his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue and spoke out shrewdly in his grating
voice. He carried his own low temperature always about with him and didn't thaw it one
degree at Christmas.”
“The first,” said Theatre President Mark Britton, “of what we hope will be many Holiday
productions in the years ahead.” He said he was very excited with Janet Fisher Column’s
volunteering to direct the Christmas Classic known to so many, young and old. Dickens’s
powerful language, humor and warmth will tell the story of Scrooge, a lonely miser, who,
through the help of spirits and visions from his past, present and future, finds a second
chance to become a loving, generous human being. The play is scheduled for December 6-9 and
13-16 and the theatre has already received numerous requests to purchase tickets.
Tickets for “The Christmas Carol” are $10 for adults and $5 for young people through the 12th
grade. Groups of ten or more are $9 but tickets must be prepaid and picked up prior to the
performance. “The Christmas Carol” is not included in the 2001 Season Ticket Membership
Program. As Mark said, “We expect to be sold out for all performances!” so plan to get your
tickets soon."
The show closed to a sold out house on Sunday afternoon, December 16. This was a fun
experience for all involved. We plan it as the beginning of many annual "Christmas Carols"
to come!
