THE MINSTREL PLAYERS ANNOUNCE HOLIDAY 2005 PRODUCTION "A CHRISTMAS CAROL"

The Minstrel Players Theatre Company of Northport prepare for their second Holiday production at Trinity Episcopal Church, 130 Main Street in scenic Northport Village. They will be staging Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol", and hope that it will become a regular Northport holiday tradition. Performances are one weekend only on Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th at 8 P.M. and a 3 P.M. matinee on Sunday, December 11th. The performance on Friday, December 9th will have a special opening night ticket price of $10 for all seats. 

"A Christmas Carol" is adapted from the Charles Dickens novel by Jef. and Tara Lawrence. Tara Lawrence is also directing this production with Debbie Palen acting as Assistant Director. The cast features Ray Palen as Scrooge and many Minstrel Players veterans in various roles - Jef. Lawrence, John Lucas, Karen Ottomano, Karen Keenan, Anne Albano and Gloria Roberts. Additionally, the large cast features many newcomers to the Minstrel stage - including, a group of children/teens ranging in age from 5 to 14, who all perform in various roles. The Minstrel Players are once again up for the challenge of bringing this well-known holiday classic to life and the founding members are all "A Christmas Carol" experts who found inspiration for their rendition in the countless classic stage and film productions of this famous novel. The Minstrel Players hope that their staging of "A Christmas Carol" will become a holiday tradition for the Northport area!
