A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
Here's a lilting holiday show based on Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. The musical treatment makes this a particularly enjoyable new way of presenting the grand story of hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas and is visited successively by three ghosts: the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future. They bring revelations to Scrooge, mainly about himself, and he's shocked into action that centers about the poor but happy Cratchit family and their brave little crippled son, Tiny Tim.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Who is a Stranger?
Mrs. Ridinghood has to let her daughter, Little Red, venture into the wood alone sometime; so, when Granny gets sick, it seems to be the perfect opportunity! Little Red’s mother warns her, “Be careful of strangers, my dear - and be kind to those you trust.” Like all children, Little Red has to use her brains to figure out who is a stranger and who is not. During her journey to Granny’s, she comes in contact with the Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker and the Three Little Pigs - all of them a little strange, but certainly not strangers. When Little Red meets the Wolf, of course, it’s a whole different story. Tackling the topic of “strangers” is a difficult one. Surflight’s Little Red Ridinghood helps young audiences learn how to use good judgement when meeting strangers, while avoiding discrimination.
