The Christmas Carol

Tuesday afternoon, we attended with friends, and some other CFL homeschoolers, and a theater full of other schools, Theater Calgary's production of The Christmas Carol.
This was the first time for my girls to attend any theater production so it was a real treat for them. The boys, and myself, saw this production about 6 years ago, but they really re-vamped the special effects and settings.  It was like seeing it again for the first time. Very enjoyable. Afterwards, because it was a performance for schools, some of the actors came out, and had a question/answer period for about a half an hour.
Now, you all knowing what my Emilie is like, she did not back down from asking a question. Had any of the actors read any of Charles Dickens works, or even the original Christmas Carol.( My friend Judi, put the seed into her mind ;) )  The answer? Most of them only saw the movie versions...BAH HUMBUG! Everyone knows the book IS better.
