Building on the sold-out success of this summer's hit production of "Alice in Wonderland", the Cabrillo Playhouse is coming back with "Scrooge!" the Leslie Bricusse adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.

Under the veteran direction of 20-year high school drama teacher, Austin Peay, the "Alice" participants blossomed into real performers and were the talk of the town during and after the shows successful run. "These young people came to a first-ever summer camp at the Cabrillo and sang and danced and acted their little hearts out. It was amazing to watch their transformation," said Nancy Keck the Playhouse board member charged with overseeing the Youth Theatre.
