The Harmony Players will perform "A Christmas Carol" at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 8 and 9 and at 12:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at Cornerstone Center for the Arts.
A group known as the Harmony Players is bringing characters such as Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim to Cornerstone Center for the Arts with its production of “A Christmas Carol.”
While originally from Portland, Indiana, the singing, dancing and acting group decided to perform at Cornerstone after outgrowing its previous facility. The cast of “A Christmas Carol” consists of 22 members who range in age from 3 to 60.
“I believe our show will touch people in a very real way. It’s not glitzy and neither is it a glamorous production,” said Linda Rodden, the director of the show. “There is only one dance number and no jazz hands. The telling of the tale of a man who has a change of heart is well-crafted and shared in a way that’s very real and true.”
Rodden said she is also excited to showcase the unique scenery created for the production.
Lee Osteen, the set designer for “A Christmas Carol,” spent months planning and creating a set that looks like a book, which will open to reveal different settings in the story.
“Some of the furniture and decor pop out of the walls as if in a child’s book,” Rodden said.
A meal will be served to those who attend the production, including salad, turkey, ham, green bean casserole, mac and cheese, fried red garlic potatoes and plum cake.
From the meal to the production, Marilyn Cleary, the executive director at Cornerstone, said this event captures the tradition of Christmas and emphasizes what “A Christmas Carol” is about.
