Generations Community Theater Presents “A Suessified Christmas Carol”
Mason, Mich. - The Mason Area Historical Society and Generations Community Theater have teamed up again this year to bring live community theater back to Mason. This time, Generations will do “A Suessified Christmas Carol” and some radio short spots prior. MAHS secretary Doug Klein says, “’it isn’t a mash-up of their 2022 ‘A Christmas Carol’ and last year’s ‘Grinch’ plays. Instead, it is a brand-new amusing “Dickensey” radio play with a rhyming cadence that Dr. Suess would have found very familiar.”
The Generations Community Theater’s play will be presented on Friday, December 13, 2024 and Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 7:00 p.m., with a Sunday matinee on December 15, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Admission at the door is a donation of $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for kids.
Performances are in the 90-seat Virginia Schlichter Auditorium at the Mason Area Historical Museum, 200 E. Oak Street in downtown Mason. Auditorium doors open about fifteen minutes before each performance. There will be one short intermission with snacks available, but patrons may also exit and re-enter quietly at any time. The Museum will be open for touring by visitors an hour prior to the performances.
Generations Community Theater’s productions are a fundraiser to support the upkeep of the Mason Area Historical Museum. They did similar productions to aid the Mason Area Historical Society in 2018 and 2019 before COVID. Many area residents may also fondly remember the Mason Coventry Players, who last performed at the Museum back in 2004.
