West and East students perform A Christmas Carol

Drama students from both Lapeer West and Lapeer East High Schools will perform Peter DeLaurier’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol November 19-21 at the Lapeer East High School Auditorium.


Doors will open at 6 pm on Friday and Saturday and 1 pm on Sunday for a special event: Cast members will be singing carols, and snacks will be available for a small donation.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. Curtain time is 7 pm Friday and Saturday evening and 2 pm on Sunday afternoon.


Faithful to Dickens' beautiful language, this flexible adaptation of the beloved Christmas classic tells the heartwarming story of miserly Ebeneezer Scrooge. Mr. Scrooge is always cold-hearted, and Christmas is no exception -- that is, until the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, comes to warn him about the consequences of living a life of greed and materialism. Over the next three nights, Scrooge is visited by three other spirits who try to convince him that his selfishness will be his downfall. Is this enough to make the selfish old miser change his ways?

The play is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts Inc.
