be staged as "Story Theater". The cast will form an ensemble that will relate
Ebenezer's tale to the audience through storytelling and music. All cast
members, save the actor portraying Scrooge, will play multiple roles throughout
the show. These roles will, of course, include all the usual and beloved
characters from the classic tale. The ghosts that haunt Scrooge will be a series
of fantastic puppets, voiced and manipulated by the onstage
actors.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
