Newnan
Community Theatre presents a twisted version of a holiday classic
The
story of "A Christmas Carol" is familiar to almost everyone,
whether they have seen the Muppet version, the Disney version, the Bill
Murray version, the Mr. Magoo version or the traditional, Dickensian

As Georgia Youth
Ballet members prepare for their seventh annual production of "The
Nutcracker" at The Studio in Fayetteville, sightings abound of
a large number of elaborately attired creatures, people and objects.
Child-sized snowflakes, candy canes, dolls, tea leaves, and flowers
are seemingly everywhere. These objects are mingling with an international
potpourri of Russians, Arabians, Spanish, and Chinese, who are themselves
beset by a host of mice led by their Rat King.
