‘A Christmas Carol’ to open at LTCC

Lake Tahoe Community College is ushering in the holiday season with an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic tale “A Christmas Carol.”

The play will be presented in LTCC’s Duke Theatre from Nov. 12-20.

Other actors are Chris Scott, Russ Williams, Matthew Lee, Alicia Agnew, Amber Smith, Astraea Marion, Ellen Martin, Riley Mitchell, AnnaMaria Dixon, Tessa Dixon, and Wanda Smith, all from South Lake Tahoe. Joining them will be Fritz Schlottman of Dayton, and the children’s roles are played by Maddy Evans, Sam Evans, Sage Smith, Aspen Smith, Gilberto Aguirre, Kendall Wilson, and Yona Abiko, all of South Lake Tahoe.

There will be a holiday party before the matinée performance on Nov. 19 at 1pm, and the performance starting at 2pm. Patrons are encouraged to buy tickets in advance, or arrive early to purchase tickets for this special performance.

Thursday through Saturday shows start at 7:30pm; there are matinees Nov. 13, Nov. 19 and Nov. 20 at 2pm.

Tickets are $10 general admission, and $5 for seniors, groups of eight or more, children under 13, and for local students with a valid student ID card. Tickets may be purchased in advance at LTCC’s bookstore starting Nov. 7. LTCC’s Box Office will be open for ticket sales one hour prior to all performances.
