After more than three decades of presenting a theatrical production of âA Christmas Carol,â Great Lakes Theater has canceled this yearâs version of the Northeast Ohio tradition, obviously due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
âItâs brutal for us as a company because these holiday shows become really important to the bottom line of our budget,â Great Lakes Theater Producing Artistic Director Charles Fee said. âLosing âA Christmas Carolâ for us is harder than losing anything else in our season from a financial standpoint.
âFrom an artistic standpoint, and from engaging our community, the long history of this piece as our holiday offering is really deeply important. It brings in an audience every single year thatâs pretty much new to Great Lakes Theater. Itâs our largest and broadest audience base of the year.â
