Production companies Art-In-Relation (A.I.R.) and Children\u2019s Theater of Long Beach (CTLB) will present a musical rendition of the classic \u201cChristmas Carol\u201d story at the Ernest Borgnine Theater at the Scottish Rite Cathedral on December 15.<\/p>\n

Executive Producer Tim Cable will portray Ebenezer Scrooge and is responsible for reuniting long-time friends Jonas Sills (A.I.R.) and Sean McMullen (CTLB). Sills will be directing both music and the performance and McMullen will serve as technical director.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cast for this show is uniquely diverse, talented, and dedicated to making the story of Ebenezer Scrooge come alive,\u201d Director and Music Director Jonas Sills said in a statement. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine a better coupling of resources than working with Tim, and Sean!\u201d<\/p>\n

The production was written and adapted by Ray Buffer, producer emeritus for A.I.R. and features a large cast of 22. Buffer combines the basis of Charles Dickens\u2019 classic story and infuses it with his own original music along with arrangements by Robert Gross.<\/p>\n
