Change, A New Christmas Carol embarks on its 10th year in the Poconos at the Sherman Theater

EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. - Nov. 17, 2017 - PRLog -- "Change, A new Christmas Carol," is celebrating its 10th year at the Sherman Theater, Dec 10th, 16th, and 17th!  "To have our show come back , and celebrate its 10th year in the Poconos is a dream for us, and we are so humbled by this milestone.  We were so very excited to receive the Monroe County Image Award for Best Community Film, TV, Theater," says Robin Smith, cast member and music director.  This years show will feature new cast members, and some new music we're excited to share.

      This Christmas, comedy, musical is an original playwright that features an animated cast, humor, and enchanting musical performances, that is sure to capture the true spirit of Christmas. It is good for all ages.

       "We didn't want to do the traditional Christmas play, so we decided to write something ourselves," says Robin Smith, music director.  "Holidays can be a difficult time for so many, so we created a story where people would leave our show feeling uplifted."

        "My wife and I have attended 'Change' every year since it began in 2008," says Pennsylvania State Senator Mario Scavello. "It is one show we both enjoy seeing...it gives a powerful Christmas message."

        The story unfolds in the fictional town of Stroudsville, with everyone caught up in the craziness of the holidays, Claire, the neurotic owner of Starcups, prays and hopes the townspeople will see the true meaning of Christmas.  She is pleasantly surprised when the quarter, Change, played by actor and director, Kimberly Smith, magically comes to life and pays the town an unexpected visit to bring "change" to everyone in Stroudsville-  that is if the mischievous Von Villain and the hard-hearted Russian butcher don't ruin Christmas."

       "Change, A New Christmas Carol" features the cast of Kimberly Smith as "Change," Katie Ord as "Von Villain", Robin Smith as "Claire," Kate Smith as "Mariska Von Krimshka", and Casey Smith as "Mel." All five have been in it since the beginning and also returning is the "Stroudsville Mayor", performed by Deanna Badik, "Sheriff," performed by Caleb Dean, and "Paperboy,' performed by Lauren Matrisciano. Cartesion Dance Academy joins the cast on stage throughout the musical.

      "Change" is truly like bringing "Broadway to the Poconos," says Robin Smith.  To purchase tickets visit www.shermantheater.com .
