I've seen movies of Charles Dickens, a Christmas Carol, many times over the years. A theater production of it is performed every year here. This afternoon Kim, the Turner kids, and I went to the Alliance Theatre in the Woodruff Arts Center and saw this year's production. It was a wonderful show - fantastic scenery/props, great period costumes, special effects, and super music and acting. Chris Kayser played the lead and has performed in a Christmas Carol for 24 years, 17 of them as Ebenezer Scrooge. All the actors were really good, including Tiny Tim. It amazes me that such a young boy can have such a great old English accent. It was Ben's first time to attend a professional show, although he's been in several school productions. As an aside, after we made plans to go, Alison and Daniel found out they could get extra class credit for going. On the way home we stopped at the world famous Varsity for supper. A good time was had by all!
