Carnegie Stage presents The Carols, book and lyrics by Jennifer Childs, music by Monica Stephenson.
In this second production of Jennifer Childs and Monica Stephenson's newest original musical comedy, a trio of singing sisters, an out-of-work Catskills comic, a limping piano player, and their grumpy Scrooge-like landlady gather at the VFW to make the most of what they have. It's Christmastime in 1944. War is raging on foreign battlefields and the women are left behind.
While the community waits for loved ones to return, the annual performance of A Christmas Carol must go on, despite the lack of men to fill important roles. At the heart of this story we honor family bonds, friendship, love, and the men and women who so courageously have given their time, talents and often their lives throughout history. The Carols is a heartfelt and hopeful musical that looks at making something right with all the wrong people.
