A CHRISTMAS CAROL Runs At Eichelberger Loft 12/10-12/27

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol will be performed from December 10 - December 27. The show is adapted by Leigh Allan and Scott Stoney and has music arranged by Gregg Coffin.

The 2008 premiere of this adaptation of the Dickens classic, designed especially for The Loft, was such a hit we¹re making it a holiday tradition. Catch the spirit, and the spirits, as a Christmas party brings forth the tale of Scrooge's evolution from the grim miser of bah and humbug to a light-hearted spreader of joy. It¹s a production true to the original, but with a new twist or two to add to the fun plus a wealth of delightful Christmas caroling.

The Human Race Theatre Company annonces the 2009-2010 Eichelberger Loft Season. From Little League to the Big Apple, from the glory that was Spain to the glamour that is Cleveland, from Charles Dickens to David Hare, the 2009-2010 Eichelberger Loft Season of The Human Race Theatre Company will present loads of laughs, scores of songs, and even titillate the intellect a bit.

It¹s a season of vision and fun, beginning with belly laughs at the Cleveland Opera in September, followed by one of the most inspiring musicals of all time, adapted from one of the greatest work's of literature, and a reprise of The Human Race¹s own adaptation of the foremost Christmas classic
that was such a hit in 2008. After the New Year will come a look at the intermingling of world and personal affairs, followed in the spring by diamond drollery and a new work from a rising star in musical theatre.

The subscription season has been extended to cover all six Loft presentations. Subscriptions plans have been made more flexible, with an option of picking any three, four, or five shows, or all six. Naturally, the bigger the package, the better the deal ­ and prices for the same-sized package are staying the same as for the current season.

Each presentation is scheduled to run three weeks, with the same special events in each run: a Thursday night preview, preceded by the Inside Track discussion with the director(s) in the Loft lobby; Friday Opening Night followed by a party with the cast; a Tuesday night Lite Fare at The Loft; a While We're on the Subject talkback after a Sunday matinee; and a Saturday signed and audio-described performance opportunity.

Subscriptions are available by calling Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630 or toll-free at (888) 228-3630 or in person at the Schuster Center Box Office.
