"A Chicago Christmas Carol"
Book By William A. Reilly and Gary Lamb
Music By William A. Reilly
Lyrics By Gary Lamb

Crown City Theatre Company presents a revamped, rejuvenated, revival of their 2008 production of "A Chicago Christmas Carol." Book writer William A. Reilly, and Lyricist Gary Lamb has once again fused their innovative talents to create a Holiday classic. With the help of new Director (Brent Beerman), Assistant Director (Ben Rovner), and Assistant Musical Director (Kathi Chaplar), new songs have been added and new scenes have been written.

"A Chicago Christmas Carol" is the merging of two classic novels, Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle", and Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Set in the harsh reality of 1908 Chicago on a particularly cold and windy Christmas Eve, streetwalkers, the homeless and even Scrooge are in for a rough night. In this production Gary Lamb helms the piece as Ebenezer Scrooge, a despicable owner of a loan establishment that preys on the workers of his own Slaughterhouse.

Cast: Gary Lamb, Mikhail Roberts, Misha Bouvion, Pamela Taylor, Anne Mannal, Paton Ashbrook, Kevin Michael Moran, Dave Burges, Sadie Calvano, Susan Grozier, Paul Marchegiani, Louis Silvers, and Kelsey Lee Smith.
Production Stage Manager: Keiko Moreno and Zad Potter
Costume Designer: Tanya Apuya and Caitlin O'Hare
Set Designer: Keiko Moreno

REVIEWS FROM THE 2008 PRODUCTION
"Rich with wonderful songs, this is a charming and lively show for adults and older kids. This telling is unique, innovative, and quite entertaining! Do catch it this holiday season!!!"

"Crown City Theatre Company produces another fine production! Gary Lamb's lyrics coddle to this production like fleece, while William A. Reilly's book holds our hands and warms our hearts till the blissful end."
