WPCNR'S OSCAR'S BACKSTAGE NOTES. By Oscar Sales, Jr., White Plains Performing Arts Center. November 25, 2004: Step into the rolling clouds of fog and mist for a moment to experience the magic of what is happening at the White Plains Performing Arts Center. What would you do if you were walking home on a dark, bitter cold night at the end of December and arrive home to find the presence of a ghost who was once your friend and business partner wearing shackles and chains. He explains that you will be haunted by three spirits and without their visits you will not be able to escape the chilling and un-resting fate he leads.
Take the journey with Scrooge through the huge flashes of light, heart-pounding sounds of ghosts, and joyous revelations as this classic tale unfolds. Visit the memories of the past, the realities of the present and the visions of the future, all unveiling the true love that has always been in Scrooge’s heart.
This exciting production with a cast of more than 30 actors of all ages is the perfect holiday show for the whole family. A Christmas Carol brings the warmth and true holiday spirit to everyone who experiences it.
