Lewis University's Philip Lynch Theatre Presents 'A Christmas Carol'

"A Christmas Carol," adapted for the stage by Joe Landry, will have performances on November 18-20 and December 1-4 at Lewis University's Philip Lynch Theatre.

The first weekend performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday. The second-weekend performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Saturday and Sunday. Ticket purchases are $13 for an adult and $12 for students and seniors. Lewis students pay $3 with an ID. The running time of the show is approximately 75 minutes.

The Philip Lynch Theatre production will be a radio play adaptation of Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol." The Holiday classic comes to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials and the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring. A handful of actors bring dozens of characters to the stage, as the familiar story unfolds: Three ghosts take Ebenezer Scrooge on a thrilling journey to teach him the meaning of Christmas. A charming take on a family favorite that will leave no one saying, "Bah Humbug!"

The Christmas Carol cast features the following Lewis University students: Katelyn L. Butt, Andrew Dills, Brianna Hall, Justin (Juice) McCarthy, Gwen Pasowicz, Chloe Sheppard, Brendan Roark, Lukas Roy, Mac Maher and Alex Schedel with Courtney Mason as the understudy/swing.
