Musical Version of Classic 'A Christmas Carol' Takes EHS Stage
The new musical version of Charles Dickens' beloved "A Christmas Carol" makes the nation's high school debut.
l student Evan Esslinger plays Ebenezer Scrooge, a man who detests Christmas and tries to destroy the holiday spirit in others in this winter's musical production at the school.
A visit from the ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, (played by Justin Wirsbinski) jump starts a change of heart. Scrooge is visited the ghosts of Christmas Past, (Benjamin Schreiner) Present (Dan Britt) and Future (DJ Kraus and Aly Gates) throughout the early morning hours of Christmas Day.
Scrooge trades his "Bah Humbug" for "Merry Christmas" by the end of the classic play.
