Open Auditions for our Christmas show "Mr Scrooge's Christmas" from Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol", adapted by Thomas Hischak, on December 5, 6, 7, 2008

Synopsis:

Emphasizing the ghost story aspect of "A Christmas Carol," the play is narrated by Jacob Marley who, as he tells the audience, has been dead for seven years, but now returns to Earth to try and reform his ex-partner, Ebenezer Scrooge. The miserly Scrooge is seen frowning at carolers, chasing away charity collectors, and making life miserable for his clerk, Bob Cratchit. But Marley appears to Scrooge on Christmas Eve and sends three spirits: Christmas Past, Present and Future. Each spirit reveals a different aspect of Christmas and in the end, old Scrooge is changed and celebrates Christmas dinner with the Cratchit family.

For more than a decade, Corona has hosted an informative and educational event highlighting persons of interest in Corona’s history who were buried in the oldest and only graveyard in Corona, the Sunnyslope Cemetery.on Rimpau Street. Typically, the event took place in the afternoon on the last Sunday in October. Each event had a theme and was done in a respectful manner to help bring Corona’s unique heritage to life. Some of the themes were: South Riverside’s Founding Fathers, Italian immigrants and the roles they played in Corona’s citrus industry, the persons for whom Corona area streets were named, early business owners, the founders of Corona’s early churches, residents of Grand Boulevard and many more. In 2003 the early early citizens who had a part in establishing or maintaining Corona’s non-profit Sunnyslope Cemetery were featured and the theme was entitled; “Grave Matters.”
