Thanks again to the cast of
A Christmas Carol

Thanks to the more than 200 people who came to see our production of A Christmas Carol in conjunction with Theatre Brookhaven at Dallas College, Brookhaven Campus.
Featuring student puppeteers, five styles of puppetry,
and a live actor,
Michael A. Robinson, as Ebeneezer Scrooge,
this classic story delighted audience members of all ages.
Thank you so much for your support of the theater, and of these great student actors
