Don’t miss A Christmas Carol, starring Emmy Award Winner Michael Haley as Scrooge with original music by Christopher Ishii. Said director/producer Linda McInerney, “We are thrilled to offer this whimsical and very, very Valley Christmas Carol. We feel Dickens’ message bears repeating, especially when so many among us are in need. A Christmas Carol is not a story of religious traditions but of humanity. It is about community, and will be produced in a way that celebrates our own unique and lively sense of community. People are looking for meaning and connection, especially at the holidays, and this is the perfect event to create that sense. It’s one of those shows that make you feel more human. And you will see lots of familiar faces on stage, even our own Claire Higgins. We’ll establish A Christmas Carol as an annual ritual celebrating our interconnectedness within our beautiful Valley. This will be a Christmas Carol like no other, with sets featuring a hand-painted 40’ by 25’ theatrical drop depicting the daily social and commercial life of Northampton and the region by acclaimed local artist Amy Johnquest. You’ll see your community magically created with familiar buildings, storefronts, and restaurants depicted in Amy’s inimitable style.”
