CATCH THE SPIRIT(S)!

Are you feeling ho-ho-hopeful this holiday season or is your Christmas spirit fa-la-la-lame this year? Either way, get yourself to the Hampton Opera Center to see this year’s production of A Christmas Carol . The classic tale is sure to turn any bah-humbugger into a “Joy to the World!” exclaimer.

For those of us who are already in a holiday mood, it’ll confirm the feeling that we can all use an extra dose of hope and love right about now.

I'm an unabashed fan of winter holidays, of Christmas in particular, and of "A Christmas Carol." That means I've seen a LOT of performances of this play, and this was by far my favorite of all time.

"From beginning to end, A CHRISTMAS CAROL is full of warm-heartedness and joy. I watched the whole play with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat and loved every minute of it."
You're invited to a
