Celebrate the season with Meadow Brook Theatre's production of 'A Christmas Carol,' by Charles Dickens, adapted and originally staged by Charles Nolte.

Mid-Michigan's newest professional theatre company, the Williamston Theatre, 122 S. Putnam in downtown Williamston, begins its fourth season this October. The 2009-2010 Season includes two World Premieres and a musical.

Meadow Brook Theatre welcomes director David Edwards, who was part of the 'By Jeeves' Broadway cast. 'I was offered the job of standby for four of the leading roles,' explained Edwards. 'I had a great time with the show and I'm excited to bring that experience here to Meadow Brook Theatre's stage. 'By Jeeves', I thought, deserved another look, beyond Broadway, in a more intimate setting. A series of happy coincidences brought me to this marvelous group of collaborators at this wonderfully enterprising theatre.'

Extended Stay Hotels presents a Meadow Brook Theatre production of 'By Jeeves,' running April 22 - May 17 on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester Born of the imagination of P. G. Woodhouse, the 'Jeeves' stories are perfect source material for a hit musical, so who better to turn it into one than Andrew Lloyd Webber?
