Music Box Presents Annual Tradition, “A Christmas Carol”

The Music Box Players invite all residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania to continue a heartwarming holiday tradition. Beginning immediately after Thanksgiving and continuing through December, families, friends and business associates will take a break from the holiday hustle and bustle to enjoy an affordable evening of friendship, food and fabulous entertainment.

This year, the Players are pleased to present A Christmas Carol, an original musical based on the novel by Charles Dickens. This classic tale of the transformation of legendary miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, has been presented to sold-out crowds since its debut in 1998 and is noted for its charming story, beautiful scenery and technical ingenuity.

Created by Kevin Costley and Ted Anderson, A Christmas Carol is guaranteed to soften the hardest of hearts and enchant everyone in attendance. Kevin Costley stars as Scrooge along with real-life husband and wife, Lou Lyons and Alice Y. Lyons, as Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cratchit and Kelly Krieger as precious little Tiny Tim. The festive ensemble includes: Molly Askew, Derrick Beleski, Devon Bishop, Morgan Brink, Thomas Caffrey, Sara Cavanaugh, Brianna Eagen, Dana Feigenblatt, Katie Finkelstein, Evan Frace, Paige Guarilia, Bob Hensley, Ryan Hertel, Johnna Hudak, Bill Lipski, Abbey McCann, Cate McDonald, Anna McNatt, Jesse McNatt, Casey Michalek, Mike Petrikonis, Rene Rismondo, Amanda Shaffern, Abigail Stucker, Alison Taroli, Bill Ulichney, Matthew Wegener, Linda White and Dan Yager.

Production dates for A Christmas Carol are November 25, 26, 30, December 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17. Each performance is a unique dinner/show experience featuring the sumptuous Fezziwig Buffet, created by the area’s premier caterer, A Touch of Class at the Palace and the fully stocked Marley’s Bar, just dying to provide the finest of holiday spirits. A limited number of show-only tickets may also be available.
