A holiday tradition continues at the Music Box Dinner Playhouse in
Swoyersville where the Music Box Players will present Charles Dickens' ``A
Christmas Carol'' Nov. 27 and 28, Dec. 2-5, 9-12, and 16-19. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 This musical version of ``A Christmas Carol'' was revitalize last year with
new music and lyrics to accompany Kevin Costley's book adaptation. Ted
Anderson, a resident of Kingston, wrote music for 12 new songs, and Costley
has furnished new lyrics. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Additional music and lyrics are by Linda Houck, Kelly Bishop, and Bob
Hensley. In addition, traditional carols will add to the holiday spirit. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 This is the ninth production of ``A Christmas Carol'' presented at the
Playhouse since it was first produced there in 1986. In the last 13 years,
more than 150 area performers have brought to life Ebenezer's Scrooge's
journey from damnation to redemption. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 This year, 30 cast members will populate the world of Dickens' London,
circa 1840. They include Kevin Costley as Scrooge, Ron Araya as Jacob Marley,
Jason Sherry and Ellen O'Brien Sherry as Bob and Mary Cratchit, and 9-year-old
Maureen Moran of Laflin as Tiny Tim, the little crippled boy who transforms
the crusty skinflint Scrooge into the kindest and most generous of Santa
Clauses. His famous line, ``God Bless Us, Everyone,'' joyfully ~concludes this
ever-popular story of love and giving. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Others in the cast playing Londoners, carolers, and 27 colorful Dickens'
characters are: Hillarie Adams, Whitney Adams, Gino Barletta, Devon Bishop,
Alexander Brandreth, Cindy Brandreth, Seth Brandreth, Andy Griglock, Bob
Hensley, Amy Houck, Sarah Houck, Celia Hottenstein, Dylan Hubbard, Debbie
Kolojejchick, Jillian Krakosky, Michael Kuzmak, Bill Lipski, Rebecca Lipski,
Ann Moran, Kathleen Moran, Mary Pauline Moran, Patricia Moran, Adam Orseck,
Ben Russin, Heidi Germaine Schnappauf, Benjamin Stark, and Lois Stark. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

direction by Ted Anderson, choral direction by Linda Houck and sets and
lighting by Michael Gallagher. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
