The CenterStage Theater Department at Walsh Jesuit High School  
presents its Fall dramatic production of the Charles Dickens classic,  
“A Christmas Carol,” November 19th at 7:00PM, November 20th and 21st   
at 7:30PM, and matinee performances November 21st  and 22nd at 2:00PM  
in the school’s newly renovated Theatre, located at 4550 Wyoga Lake  
Road, in Cuyahoga Falls. There will be a preview performance on  
November 18th at 7PM.
                 This version of “A Christmas Carol” was adapted for  
the stage by former Clevelander and now Los Angeles, California  
resident, Tony Palermo. David Banks, in his tenth year as the Director  
of the CenterStage Theatre, wanted to keep to the tradition of the  
story as well as incorporate some special effects to add some spice to  
the show. “This rendition lends itself perfectly to the vision I had  
for the play.” Dickens' story was also made into a film starring  
George C Scott as Scrooge. The Disney Corporation has gotten into the  
act as well, with an animated version coming out this November,  
starring Jim Carrey, Michael J. Fox, and Gary Oldman.
Cast as Ebenezer Scrooge is Luke Hearty of Bedford, while Bob Cratchit  
is portrayed by Ryan Bellmore of Brecksville. Jay Swedyk of Hinckley  
plays Dickens, the Narrator and Vince Matia of Medina plays Jacob  
Marley.  The Ghost of Christmas Past will be performed by Rachel  
Scarponi of Akron, and Alex Coundourides of Brunswick plays the Ghost  
of Christmas Present. Fred is portrayed by Jack Fielder of Medina, and  
Kate, his wife is played by Paige Hicks of Hudson. The fundraising  
team of Lamb and Poole are played by Anita Salley, of Stow, and Lucas  
Casserlie of Doylestown. Mrs. Cratchit is portrayed by Jennifer  
Mitchkash of Sagamore Hills. Martha Cratchit is played by Lauren Cole  
of Cuyahoga Falls, while Andrew Burge of Akron plays Peter Cratchit.  
Tiny Tim Cratchit will be performed by Justin Eck of Brunswick. Young  
Scrooge is played by Kyle Glascott of Boston Heights.
Rounding out the cast are Christina Brode, Sydney Minorik, Victoria  
Tersigni, and Katie Whalen of Akron, Mary Theresa Schafer and Megan
