Maryland Ensemble Theatre's A CHRISTMAS CAROL Returns To The Weinberg Center For The Arts

Maryland Ensemble Theatre's production of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol returns to Frederick's Weinberg Center for the Arts for one weekend only from December 13 - 15.

Originally adapted by Julie Herber, MET's Associate Artistic Director, and Theatricks, MET began producing the now annual production in 2003. MET's Producing Artistic Director, Tad Janes, has appeared as Scrooge for the entirety of the 21 year MET run and this year is no exception. Joining him on stage are memorable returning cast members Gené Fouché, Lisa Burl, James McGarvey, Jeremy Myers, Sean Byrne, Karen Heyser-Paone, and Lena Janes. The production features a number of junior performers, many of whom are students or alumni of MET's Ensemble School.

The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future and Tiny Tim will transport audiences to Victorian England as the penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge learns the error of his miserly ways and embraces the true spirit of Christmas. Director, Julie Herber, says she “looks forward to this annual tradition, now over 20 years strong with MET, and looks forward to greeting the audience after the show as it is always so cheerful and heartwarming. Each year it feels like coming home. We have so many cast members that return year after year, it's like having a holiday family reunion and that really comes across on stage.”  Over the years, thousands of families have celebrated the holidays with this production of A Christmas Carol, making it a highly anticipated holiday tradition in downtown Frederick.
