AN AMERICAN COUNTRY CHRISTMAS CAROL sets the Dickens story of faith, family and redemption in the American south. The musical has a new score with lyrics by Scott Logsdon (the original run of LES MISERABLES on Broadway) and music by some of Music Row’s most respected and best writers.

The World Premiere of AN AMERICAN COUNTRY CHRISTMAS CAROL was presented as a staged reading at the Boiler Room Theatre in Franklin, TN in Decmber of 2010.

Heading the cast as Ebenezer Scrugg is Larry Tobias, whose selected credits include the national tour of STAND BY YOUR MAN and numerous productions of RING OF FIRE. In Nashville he has been seen as Pap in The Rep’s BIG RIVER and in Studio Tenn’s OUR TOWN.

The cast is filled with critically-acclaimed actors and Nashville audience favorites including: Nashville Shakespeare’s Denice Hicks ( the Ghost of Christmas Past ), Nashville’s recent “Best Actor” Patrick Waller ( the Ghost of Christmas Present) and award-winning actor Matthew Carlton (Marley/Fezziwig).

From the Broadway cast of RING OF FIRE, singer/songwriter/recording artists Lari White and Mark Luna appear as the Cratchits. The Cratchit children include: Hope Dyra (Martha), Tyler Bond (Peter), Addison McFarlin (Belinda), Cynthia Lowe (June), Matthew Dyra (John) and Hayden Gill (Tiny Tim).
