*Louisville, KY* – Get ready to embark on a heartwarming journey of redemption and transformation as Highview Arts Center proudly presents its second show of the season, "A Christmas Carol," adapted by Kathy Preher Reynolds. This timeless tale of compassion and self-discovery will come to life on stage this December, captivating audiences of all ages with its enchanting storytelling and innovative adaptation.

Kathy Preher Reynolds, a local theatre professional who currently resides within the Highview Community, has masterfully breathed new life into Charles Dickens' classic story. With a unique blend of traditional charm and contemporary resonance, Reynolds' adaptation promises to deliver a fresh perspective on the beloved characters and themes that have made "A Christmas Carol" a holiday favorite for generations.

“The enduring popularity of A Christmas Carol stems from its universally appealing redemption narrative. We all seek redemption in some way, so we naturally root for Scrooge's transformation from miserly curmudgeon to joyful benefactor. Though the story's outcome is familiar, it still elicits delight. Moreover, producing this classic tale allows Highview Arts Center to fulfill its mission of community-oriented theater. By staging a beloved family tradition, we provide our community not just entertainment but a narrative of hope and renewal that it deeply values.” -Kathy Preher Reynolds

The production will feature an exceptional cast of local community actors, each meticulously chosen to capture the essence of Dickens' characters and Reynolds' reimagined vision. From the curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge to the endearing Tiny Tim, audiences can expect a performance that will tug at their heartstrings and inspire a renewed appreciation for the true spirit of Christmas.

Highview Arts Center continues its mission of bringing captivating and entertaining theatre experiences to our Highview community. "A Christmas Carol" marks an exciting milestone in our second season, offering a perfect blend of entertainment and reflection during the holiday season.
