Nebraska troupe to stage classic 'A Christmas Carol'

A professional production of the family classic "A Christmas Carol" will be presented at the College of Lake County Saturday.

Charles Dickens' holiday classic comes to life with music and dance as staged by the Nebraska Theatre Caravan, one of the country's most acclaimed touring children's theater companies.

Shows will be presented at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday at the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts at the College of Lake County, 19351 W. Washington St., Grayslake.

Every detail of the book springs to life, from spine-chilling ghosts to heartfelt renditions of traditional British carols. More information on the company is online at www.nebraskstheatrecaravan.com.
