The LAVC Theater Arts Department will present an adaptation of A Christmas Carol on Thursdays-Saturdays, December 2, 3, 4, and 9, 10, 11 at 8 p.m. in the Horseshoe Theater.

This production is directed by Marjorie Vander Hoff and features the talents of Nina Donato, William Burton, John Delbarian, Stephanie Pressman, Karis M. Rossi, Tuba Heatherton, Kris Toranzo, Erin O’Loughlin, John F. Ledley, Roxy Beck, Lilit Arakelyan, Kevin Wilkins, Amanda Stanlow, Briana Norman, Kelsey Rogers, Schneor Wolf, Keith Garrison, Luis Marquez, Carlo Maghirang, Eric Long, Apry’al Mcneil, Leo Amanse, Brandon Batham, and Katie Ann Holland.
