‘It’s Christmas, Carol’

Stage Left modernizes holiday classic

LISBON — Stage Left Players put a modern twist on a holiday favorite with “It’s Christmas, Carol.”

Managing Artistic Director Kandace Cleland wrote the adaptation, which substitutes Ebeneezer Scrooge and the 1800s setting of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” for Scrooges’s great-great-great niece Carol, who cynically profits off of her uncle’s legacy with her best-selling book “Scrooge It!”

Carol gets a visit from Dickens himself in this version, described as a family-friendly show featuring music, comedy, drama and loads of Christmas cheer.

The cast features Cleland, Christine Martin, Paul Dahman, Autumn Johnston, Aaron Hinchliffe, Kari Lankford, Paxton Gabbert, David Humphrey, Ruth Newman, Kari Beil, John Diddle, Ron Altomare, Marshall Hall & Lydon Freeman, Kaleigh Ceci, Brady Duncan, Olivia Rice, Kevin Schreffler, Izzie Cornwell, Dylan Mauch, Abby Beil, Kevin Schreffler, Nick Freeman, Lydon Freeman, Marshall Hall, Izzie Cornwell, Dylan Mauch, Scarlett Courtney, Olivia Rice, Brady Duncan, Abby Beil, Kaleigh Ceci and Jacob Ward

“It’s Christmas, Carol” will be staged at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday through Dec. 12 at Stage Left Community Arts Center, 234 E. Lincoln Way, Lisbon. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students and senior citizens and are available at stageleftplayers.org.
