As you can see, coming up first is A Christmas Carol The Musical. The deadline for ticket orders will
be by end of business day Friday, October 21, 2016. This deadline ensures that everyone will have a
fair chance at the lottery if I should receive more tickets requests than seats in the auditorium.You will
then receive a status update email from me on Monday, October 24, 2016, telling you if you’ll receive
the tickets you requested. Be sure to inform me of any special seating requests you may have such as no
stairs, few stairs, or wheelchair spaces. Keep in mind we have only a total of four wheelchair spaces
available.
There is a study guide of A Christmas Carol for your convenience at the Civic Theatre website:http://

Lynn Ahrens
Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes personal wealth is far more valuable than
the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge expresses his feelings
on Christmas tidings and charity, but he's soon forced to face his selfish ways. On Christmas Eve three
ghosts lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his
faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas!" before spending the day
reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.
Scrooge and his ghostly encounters come to life in this lavish and thrilling Broadway
adaptation. Broadway composer Alan Menken (Disney's Beauty And The Beast, Disney's The Little Mermaid,
Little Shop Of Horrors) and lyricist Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical, Once On This Island) breathe fantastic
new life into this classic tale.
