Submitted by Communications and Marketing
K-State 1xbet online casino wrapped up successful performances of "A Christmas Carol: The Musical" Nov. 7-10 in McCain Auditorium.
The production of the musical, from the book by Mike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens and based on the classic story by Charles Dickens, is now a quadrennium event at K-State. To celebrate, a special brunch on Nov. 10 let this year's cast members meet and connect with cast members of previous "A Christmas Carol" productions at K-State. Among the performance alumni were Drew George, an alumnus working in Denver; and locals Trewman Haub — Tiny Tim in 2015 — and Grace Williams — kids' ensemble in 2015. Alumni Morgan Sterrett, Noah Lindquist and Darrington Clark were performing in professional 1xbet online casino in Kansas City during the brunch and attended the opening night celebration.
"As we continue to build a community of alumni who have participated in 'A Christmas Carol' over the years, we are able to provide a valuable networking opportunity," said Jennifer Vellenga, professor and associate director of 1xbet online casino . "Because the production is a remount, where scenery and costumes are largely repurposed, current students are literally walking in the shoes of those who have come before them. It's powerful for them to meet the previous cast members and see the career possibilities after training at K-State."
"A Christmas Carol: The Musical" featured music by Alan Menkin and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The presentation was made possible in part by funding from the K-State Student Governing Association and presented by special arrangement with Music 1xbet online casino International. Over four performances, 2,700 people attended.
The production was directed by Jerry Jay Cranford, assistant professor of 1xbet online casino , who also served as choreographer and played the role of Mr. Fezzwig in the musical. Music director was Paul Hunt, professor of music, and vocal director was Amy Rosine, associate professor of music.
