A CHRISTMAS CAROL to Be Presented at the Leddy Center

"Bah, humbug!" is the cry from Ebenezer Scrooge, as he ushers in the holiday season in "A Christmas Carol", at Leddy Center's beautiful theater on Ladd's Lane in Epping. Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is tradition at Leddy Center and promises to make everyone's Christmas a lot more meaningful for the watching. Heading up an all-star cast directed by Elaine Gatchell, Steve Koch returns as the unmatchable Scrooge at Leddy Center as does Dr. Henry Ferrell as the truly remorseful Ghost of Marley.

Jane Button returns as Mrs. Crachit and Eric Savage is Bob Crachit. Nen Horan is Martha Crachit, Mark Deyo returns as Scrooge's nephew, Fred, and Kathy Anzalone returns as the Ghost of Christmas Past. Don LaDuke is the Ghost of Christmas Present, Nicol Hotaling debuts as Fred's wife, Mary, Kevin Murphy is Mr. Fezziwig and Carole Bilodeau is Mrs. Fezziwig. Parker Irving of Epping is Tiny Tim. Scenes will be ushered in by an acappella quartet and soloists. Musicians include Jane Button, Michael Denison, Bruce Gatchell, Richard Gouin, Danielle Stough and Erin Gillespie.
