Director Nedra Pace states, "The score, from composer Alan Menken (of Disney fame) with lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, gives the piece a virtual face lift. The story has been portrayed so many times, so many ways, that they find it too predictable to draw them out. Enhanced by the melodious, memorable score, and presented with a tight-running, tongue-in-cheek script, the story is restored to its original brilliance and once again jumps into the hearts of viewers." Add to that an unusually talented cast of local artists, and you have a production that will give the holiday season a warm sparkle. The story is the same; Miser Ebenezer Scrooge is awakened on Christmas Eve by spirits who reveal to him his own miserable existence. Scrooge must decide what his own future will hold: Death or redemption. Pace continues, "We have tried to bring a few surprises to the audience with this production. Character interpretations, costuming enhancement, and a cast that makes the rafters ring bring the promise of a truly unique and joyful evening. Listed in the cast of characters are Dee Pace, portraying the old miser Ebenezer, Karlie Clark, Craig Whitaker, and Jacob Thompson as the three ghosts, Austin Lemke as Tiny Tim, Rob Christensen and Samantha Merkeley as the Crachit parents, Susan Haderlie and Ken Merkeley as the Fezziwigs, and a colorful cast that heralds from Tremonton, Logan, the Brigham City area, and Ogden. Many in the cast have multiple family members playing alongside them. That includes the director. Besides husband Dee taking the role of Scrooge, daughter Katie is choreographer, and two other daughters, Meira and Kenzie, are part of the cast. Annette Whitaker joins the staff as vocal director, alongside husband Craig and son Brandon. "Performing as families makes it a shared experience, a unique way to celebrate Christmas."
