The Albright Community Theatre will be ending its 2022 season with A Christmas Carol , opening Friday, December 2 and running weekends through December 11.
Based on the Charles Dickens story of the same name, this classic play recounts the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley on Christmas Eve. Marley and three other spirits take Scrooge on a journey of self-discovery in an attempt to change the course of Scrooge's life, hoping to transform him into a kinder, gentler person and discover what Christmas is all about.
“This is still an incredibly relevant story to the world of today, which is something we hope to bring out in our production,” says director Katy Steele of Aurora. “It’s easy to see why A Christmas Carol is such a beloved tradition. And our cast has worked hard to make sure that everyone will leave the theatre feeling the Christmas spirit.”
Cast members include: Rob Nowak of Aurora; Erin Cauley of South Elgin; Jon Witt of Naperville; Jeannine Collins of Carol Stream; Justin Wrobel of Geneva; Steve Sturm of Woodstock; Tonya, Elliot, and Jackson Cook of Batavia; Judy Swanson of Sugar Grove; Madeline Bertrand of Glen Ellyn; Derek Beigh of Naperville; Lily Hammon of River Grove; JP Quirk of South Elgin; Tamra Ashby of Batavia; Rich LeCropane of Oswego; Susan and Jessica Foody of Sugar Grove; James Knapp of Warrenville; Adam Mareska of Batavia; Nicky, Genevieve, Nora, and Mimi O’Shea of Batavia. It is directed by Katy Steele, with stage manager Ann Myrna of Naperville and tech manager Erin Milhousen of Batavia.
