Co-Director's Note

Welcome to Epping Community Theater’s rendition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol! This timeless story of transformation and the true spirit of Christmas has been a joy to bring to life.

As co-director, I had the unique pleasure of merging my vision with that of my fellow directors to create a production that honors this classic tale while adding our own creative touches. A Christmas Carol has always been a personal part of my holiday season. I had the honor of performing as the Ghost of Christmas Past for many years alongside my children. Though they have now grown and are out in the world, I am grateful to this community theater for allowing me not only to co-direct this classic but also to reprise my role.

The best part of community theater is the new faces that come out to join us. I have been amazed by the talent of our cast, spanning all ages. They have come together to express genuine emotion and unity. I am especially grateful to our production team, whose creativity and commitment have made this show possible. A heartfelt thank you also goes to my co-directors, who inspired me and allowed me to experience the new endeavor of directing a community theater production.

I hope that as you watch this performance, you are reminded of the importance of kindness and the magic of the holiday season. Thank you for joining us, and we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
