One guy, all the characters, and you can sing along!! Hope you can join us on Monday, December 11th at the Provo Library in the Ballroom at 7 PM. I'll be performing from the same script Charles Dickens used when he did his one-man "A Christmas Carol, and the audience can sing along between the parts.

One guy, all the characters, and you can sing along!!

Hope you can join us on Monday, December 11th at the Provo Library in the Ballroom at 7 PM.

I'll be performing from the same script Charles Dickens used when he did his one-man "A Christmas Carol, and the audience can sing along between the parts. He call them staves (it is called a carol), and when he took a copy of "A Christmas Carol" edited it to be about an hour long. He added some fun notes to himself on the pages. I've included a screen shot of one of my favorites from the original prompt book at the New York Public Library.

I've also included a short clip of one of my favorite parts!! I've also attached the nice poster the Provo Library created for the evening. Performing this one-man show with more than 20 voices always gets me into the Christmas spirit.

The best news -- Scrooge would hate this -- it's FREE!!

Join Sue Smith on the piano and Debbie Allred leading the audience in singing a few Christmas carols. If I don't get to see you Monday, please have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year...

and as Tiny Tim says, "God Bless Us Everyone!"
