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.</div><div style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Cast as Ebenezer Scrooge is Luke Hearty of Bedford, while Bob Cratchit is portrayed by Ryan Bellmore of Brecksville.
