PLAYBILL Lenape High School Presents

A Christmas Carol

Artwork by Sydnie Lott

By

Charles Dickens Adapted By

Romulus Linney

Fall

2013

This production is dedicated to:

Beth Taubman – Everything I’ve learned about

theatre, I’ve learned from you. Without your

mentoring and friendship, I would not have

even been able to attempt a production like this.

Jerry Boggs – Your work ethic, skill, and

creativity has been essential to the success of the

shows here at Lenape. I cannot even begin to

describe the impact you’ve had on me both

professionally and personally over the last few

years by just being who you are.

Len Nicholas – There are so many things you do

behind the scenes here at Lenape for which you

don’t get any credit. Specifically, your expertise

in sound, lighting, and anything else related to

this functioning of this facility has contributed

to the success of everything from faculty

meetings to this show.

Sara Bausch – You have picked up the slack at

home and with this kids without complaint

every fall for the past ten years. You’ve always

been supportive and have encouraged me to take

risks professionally. I love you, and I could not

have done any of this without you.

A Note from the Director...

To the dedicated cast and crew of A Christmas Carol:

Words cannot express how proud I am of the job

we’ve all done together in making this play something

special. Each of you has contributed something

essential and unique to this production. This show is

truly yours now, and the joy, laughter, and Christmas

spirit you’ve passed on through it is your reward. I

hope that this is not the last time you are involved in a

production here at Lenape. From the youngest among

us to the eldest, everyone has given his or her all

planning, directing, choreographing, leading, following,

building, acting, managing, organizing, lighting,

mic-ing, advertising, decorating, supervising, and

enjoying this show.

God bless us, every one!

Sincerely,

William Bausch

A Word from our Set Director...

It has been a Real pleasure working with such a dedicated,

passionate, and talented group of yound people this fall!

I would like to start out by thanking all of the parents for

their time, work, and support they gave to make this play a

success.

I would like to thank a very special lady, Mrs. “Nanna” Kirvan,

for all the time she donated sewing curtains and costumes.

You are a real gem.

I would also like to thank Mrs. Margaret “Debbie” Zuono for

the endless hours spent on the artwork and painting of the

sets. YOU ARE A REAL LIFE SAVER!

Last but NOT least, I would like to thank my “Building

Buddie,” Mr. Chris Kirvan. Without Mr. Kirvan, Much of

what you see on the stage would not be possible. You’re a

professional touch to the productions.

Thanks to all who gave so much and so freely of their time

and talents to make this show such a success. It was truly a

Labor of Love!

Good luck to the Cast, Crew, and Directors,
