ORANGE — Lutcher Theater is
presenting the national tourinp
company of A Christmas Carol I
one performance only on Sunday,
December 4 at 5:30 p.m. The musi-
cal tour of/I Christmas Carol is the
most popular show in Lutcher
Theater’s history, having played to
capacity business in four previous
theater seasons.
In the very month in which Char-
les Dickens was working ceaseless-
ly completing a “ghostly little book”
entitled A Christmas Carol,
November of 1843, another
Englishman, Sir Henry Cole, had
an idea which has enriched the
Christmas season even more than
Scrooge and Tiny Tim. He sug-
gested to his artist friend J. C.
Horsley that they design an il-
lustrated card which could be used
to send Christmas greetings to
friends.
Intrigued by the novel idea of an
illustrated card, Horsley went
straight to work and produced the
world’s first Christmas card. The
card was printed in quantity and
hand colored by a tireless soul
named Mason. Roughly 1,000
copies of the card were sold that
year. Subsequent years brought
wide popularity, new styles and the
advent of a great Christmas tradi-
tion.
t he Bridge City Chamber of
Commerce, at its November board
of directors meeting, have elected
officers for 1989 and will install new
directors at the upcoming annual
banquet on January 19.
The new officers for the board of
directors are John Scales, presi-
dent; Charles (Choc) Lemmond,

fice of continuing education at

CEUs by the Board of TaxProfes-
sional Examiners.
County Tax Assessor-Collectors
are required by law to achieve cer-

The three-day program includes

tory Control”, “Records reTention
In The County Tax Office", “Voter

“Most of the training during the

with the Tax Assessor-Collector’s
office on a daily basis such as the
State Highway Department-Motor
Vehicles Division, the Secretary of
State's Election Division and the

sional Examiners,” said Louvenia.

The tourieg production aptly
mg begins its performances with the
ftw* entire cast on stage in a Christmas
street scene. Complete with falling
snow and stunning setting, the
opening forms a 40 foot wide
Christmas card on stage.
The popularity of the tour is also
credited to the familiar music used
in A Christmas Carol. Traditional
songs popular at the turn of the
century are showcased throughout
the production, such as the ever-
popular “Greensleeves”.
Another hallmark of the produc-
tion are amazing special effects. A
12 foot ghost appears as if by magic,
a large bed moves the performers
around the stage and the settings
revolve in sections to create new
locations in split-second time.
The Charles Dickens’ classic has
not lost any of its magic or spirit in
the 140 years since its inception.
The mystical effects of the current
production and the magnificent
highlight a timeless Christmas story
of love and sharing. Scrooges’ basic
grappling with the past, present
and future are well-wrapped in
music, dance, colorful costumes
and elaborate period settings.
