Come and be filled with ye olde Dickens’ London atmosphere as you step back to a time long ago: 1843. Revisit  the unforgettable character, Ebenezer Scrooge, the old miser with his familiar adage, “Bah Humbug!” Mark Savalle, who acted in TV shows, “Facts of Life” and “Dallas,” said that although he liked working with Hollywood stars, Cloris Leachman and Patrick Duffy, his role as Scrooge at this annual production with ACTS drama group is one of his favorites.

Produced by Scottish playwright and former jazz artist, Kathleen Pedick, the upcoming version of “A Christmas Carol” offers many surprises and unique twists  that assure the audience a feel-good experience this holiday season.  “Be filled with joy as you hear  carolers heartily singing  of the Child born in Bethlehem while Bob Cratchit   carries Tiny Tim on his tired shoulders, and the crippled child proclaims, “ God Bless us Everyone!” said playwright Kathleen Pedick.
