Jacob Marley’s
Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol
Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol
“Marley was dead: to begin with.” Everyone knows
Charles Dickens’ classic morality play A Christmas
Christmas Carol
Carol,, but you’ve never heard it from the point
of view of the ghost of Jacob Marley. In Jacob
Marley’s Christmas Carol,, we see that the salvation
of two men hangs on the redemption of
Scrooge’s soul.
The story begins where Dickens began: with
the Christmas Eve death of money-lender Jacob
Marley, a surly, greedy, terrifying old villain. He
is admitted to the Beyond, where he sees the
woeful fate of all who disdained their fellow
man. He experiences his own weighty chains:
burdens formed by his own deeds of hatred,
scorn, and greed. Despairing, he demands
to be removed from this Purgatory, but the
only way out is to unchain the twisted soul
of Ebenezer Scrooge. With guidance from
Bogle, his guardian demon, he sets off on the
desperate mission that will save Scrooge from
a fate worse than death, and will redeem his
own soul from eternal damnation.

Peter Pan
Peter Pan
Meridian Community College and the Lauderdale County School District are
celebrating 11 years together producing a county-wide musical. Past shows
have included: The Wiz, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida, Back to the 80’s:The
Totally Awesome Musical, Disco Inferno, Guys and Dolls, All Shook Up, Disney’s
Beauty and the Beast, Carnival, Kiss Me, Kate!, and last year’s production
of The Wizard Of Oz. Each year our students have been exposed to
various technical aspects of producing a show, and this year, we add
the experience of flight to their education.
The Arts & Letters Series is proud to present J. M. Barrie’s classic,
Peter Pan.
In the early 1900s, the Darling children are preparing for bed while
the Darling parents are preparing to go to a party. Mr. Darling huffily
asks his wife why they must keep a dog as a nursery maid, and Mrs.
Darling tells him of a strange flying boy Nana had frightened off last
week. The children get tucked into bed, and the parents leave for their
party. In the stillness of the night, suddenly the nursery window is blown
open, and Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, flies in. He awakens Wendy
and her brothers, Michael and John, and enchants them with tales of his home.
He tells them about the Lost Boys and how they don’t have pockets, and the
fierce Indians, and the bewitching mermaids, and the mutinous Pirates. They fly
off with Peter to the second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning on the
biggest adventure of their lives.
