A New Angle on “Scrooge”

What if you were one of Santa’s elves–and you heard a stingy old man muttering, “Bah!  Humbug!”?

That’s the premise of “Merry Christmas, Scrooge!”, an original panto happening this weekend at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport.  (For reference, Lakeport is located 125 miles northeast of Sacramento.)

More than 20 children, ages 6 to 17, will be involved in the production.  Singing, dancing and audience participation will all be a part of the show.

As you’ll notice from the above poster, this is both a Safe Spaces project, and a show that welcomes audience members to “pay what you will”.   It’s also listed as being for “kids” of all ages–including “big kids” like you and me.

In other words, this is a show created from love and inspiration–and staged to keep those two elements going.

Sounds like Christmas to me!   Come support them if you can.
