For the fourth year in a row, we bring back our popular holiday show but this year it’s completely re-imagined and based on a new script. By using the magic of classical radio, this production brings the story of Bedford Falls alive in a way that only the unique, imaginative medium of radio can. Fans of the film will recognize all their favorite scenes and characters in vivid detail while newcomers will have the opportunity to experience Frank Capra’s holiday favorite in their own way. This is a holiday tradition that has delighted our audiences year after year.

INSPECTING CAROL runs Dec. 7-15

INSPECTING CAROL
Presented by Middletown Lyric Theatre
Dec. 7-15
Middletown

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Pam Fugett as Zorah Bloch, Joseph Cunningham as Sidney Carlton, Betty Coulter as Dorothy Tree Hapgood, Nathan Greer as Larry Vauxhall, Jeff Smith as Phil Hewitt, Dylan Bolen as Luther Beatty, Kevin L. Craig as Kevin Emery, Patty Bolen as M.J. McMann, Elizabeth Long as Betty Andrews & Jordan Mathews as Wayne Wellacre

A CHRISTMAS CAROL meets THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR meets NOISES OFF in this hilarious hit. A man who asks to audition at a small theatre is mistaken for an informer for the National Endowment for the Arts. Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor and he is given a role in the current production, A Christmas Carol. Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity. (While A Christmas Carol is the catalyst for this show it is NOT performed in its entirety within this play)
