This project grew out of a personal, life-long love for Dickens\u2019 classic Christmas story of reflection, self-improvement, redemption, and goodwill to all. I have participated in almost a dozen theater productions of this beautiful tale, and even met my husband during one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For years I had dreamed of producing my own version of this story, inspired by the style of an old time radio show. The moment to do so became urgent when a dear friend &#8211; a prolific director and mentor to myself and many others &#8211; was diagnosed with ALS. His was the loving and tender voice I had hoped to capture for Bob Cratchit, so I jumped on the opportunity to produce this beautiful story with a full cast of talented actors &#8211; friends and family, alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope our interpretation warms your heart and inspires change for the better. I hope we may all remember, to paraphrase Charles Dickens,&nbsp; to open our shut up hearts more freely, to raise up our eyes, and to think of one another as fellow-passengers on this earth, even amidst our differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for sharing this story with us.
