Theater Department and Casting Hall at Buffalo State Presented "A Christmas Scarol"

The Theater Department and Casting Hall Productions presented "A Christmas Scarol," an audio comedy directed by theater major Edward Spaulding in December. The story was written by Don Zolidis and features student actors. When Tim can't think of a Christmas gift to get his high-maintenance girlfriend, he's visited by four terrifying spirits (actually five-they've been hiring) who whisk him away on a harrowing and hilarious journey into the past, present, future, and an alternate timeline. This wild and free-spirited adaptation of the holiday classic is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas (getting awesome presents).
