"A Christmas Carol was the perfect vehicle for a young group of inexperienced child actors. It lent itself well to being done as a touring production too and we loved that there were Christmas carols which encouraged the audience to participate as well. I will be recommending Children's Theatre Plays.com to CYT Headquarters for any area starting up across the country."
Bliss Lanier, Executive Director, CYT-North Idaho
