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.

It was amazing to watch their transformation," said Nancy Keck the Playhouse board member charged with overseeing the Youth Theatre.
