Glen Arbor Players present “A Christmas Carol”

From staff reports

In the spirit of the Christmas season, the Glen Arbor Players will present A Christmas Carol on December 8-10 at the Glen Lake Church, 4902 West Macfarlane in Glen Arbor. Incorporating the festivity of the season and the spirit of redemption, Charles Dickens’ classic tale has never been out of print since its release in 1843. The novel proved very effective in promoting renewed enthusiasm for the joys of Christmas in both Britain and the United States.

A Christmas Carol has been adapted countless times for film, stage, opera and other media over the years. The story is one of the most read and watched in history. The Glen Arbor Players will be performing the play as a re-enactment of the first show of the “Mayor of the Town” radio program which was broadcast starring Lionel Barrymore in 1942.

The play will be performed in a reader’s theater format with a very experienced cast. Each play will start at 7:30 pm and there is no charge for admission. Donations are accepted and refreshments will be served. More information is available at (231) 409-4421 or online at www.GlenArborPlayers.org.
