The Methuen Young People’s Theatre, celebrating their 40th season, presented a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” at the Methuen Memorial Music Hall. While the story followed the traditional script, this show included music written by theater director Joe Gori.
Thirty-five talented children, ages 8 through 18, delivered their lines with precision and belted out songs for three performances that ran Dec. 18-20.
