They’re creepy and they’re kooky — and they’re on their way to northwest Kansas.

The Hays Community Theatre wrapped up another successful production this month. The Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol,” directed by Samie Pfeifer, played Dec. 13, 14 and 15 at the 12th Street Auditorium.  Cost of admission was a freewill donation or non-perishable food item.

In total, 442 people attended and donated $1290.65.  Also, 564 items were donated to the St. Joseph Food Pantry.

Bill Brown, assistant director for the show and an HCT Board member, told Hays Post he was pleased with this performance.

“I thought we did very well. The audience reaction to the show has been great from everything that I have heard. I think the people that came enjoyed it, the actors and crew did an excellent job,” Brown said. “Samie was brilliant as a director, Travis shone as Scrooge, and I think audiences that came truly appreciated the performances they saw.”

The next large shows for HCT are “Grease” next summer and “A Christmas Story: The Musical” next winter.
