I had the chance to speak with the director of “A Christmas Carol,” who shared insights about the creative process. “It's not just a story we're telling; it's a tradition that keeps coming back, year after year. Every cast brings its own flavor to the show,” she said. This perspective highlights the essence of local productions—a constantly evolving collaboration that breathes new life into familiar tales.
