The election is over.  The persistent, sniping, exhausting, negative political ads are done. Come share in an uplifting story that will put you and your family in the holiday spirit.

Providence Players of Fairfax and The Young Hearts bring you…

Though placed in 1930’s Midwest, there is nothing “depressing” about this new take on this classic tale of redemption.  St. Louis can get mighty cold in December, especially when there’s not enough food to go around. Times were hard.  People were out of work, lost their homes, their families, and many lost hope. A Shakespearean actor and his manager run out of gas, and the townsfolk agree to supply them with some if they tell them the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim. Hope is born as the town jumps in as Dickensian characters amid bluegrass music and the redemptive spirit inspired by this timeless tale. This depression-era adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic truly brings this story to life.

Though times are tough… …hope brings a smile to your face!

And there is more!
