Gulfshore Playhouse to Award 10 Students Tickets to Holiday Production via DO THE RIGHT THING Program

Gulfshore Playhouse has announced that they will award 10 students with a gift certificate not only for themselves, but for their whole family to see Gulfshore Playhouse's production of Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol this holiday season. The Naples Police Department will be presenting 10 students with awards for showing exemplary behavior in the community through the "Do The Right Thing" program at the Naples City Council meeting on December 4th, and Gulfshore Playhouse is proud to be able to offer these students and their families the opportunity to see this heart-warming production.

Students will receive tickets to see Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol by Tom Mula: a hilarious twist on the beloved Christmas tale, Jacob Marley finds himself in Hell and learns that saving Scrooge's soul is the only road to his own salvation. Actor Cody Nickell wends his way through this one-man show, sliding effortlessly from Heavenly hijinks all the way to Hell and back. Audience members will spend an evening with Scrooge, Cratchit, and 16 other Angels, Demons, Goblins and Ghosts that once again remind us all of the true meaning of Christmas. Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol will run from December 6-22nd at the Norris Center.

"Being able to give these young community members the reward of seeing Live Theatre is an honor. I am thrilled that Gulfshore Playhouse has become such an integral part of the community, and allowing the youth in our community access to high-quality professional theatre is very important to me," states Kristen Coury, Founder and Producing Artistic Director of Gulfshore Playhouse.
