Vermont Youth Theater takes on Dickens’ classic holiday tale of “A Christmas Carol” for the third year in a row. Combining professionals and amateurs, this multi-generational cast of 40 includes a few families too. With an original score composed by Artistic Director Mary List-Wheeler, this Vermont-y version moves along at a fast clip with rapping gravediggers, boisterous singing and dancing and signature costume designs. We caught a sneak peek at a Sunday night rehearsal at Capital City Grange in Berlin. There will be four performances at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe from November 30 to December 2nd.

Shooting date: 11/25/18
