Last night Mansfield High’s theater members put on their student-directed production of the classic story of A Christmas Carol. Admission was a $2 donation at the door or you could bring in a toy for the Toys for Tots drive. They were able to raise over $100 in donations for charity as well.

“This is my first play to direct,” said senior Haley Harmon. “I’ve had to do a lot. With directing comes a lot of responsibility. I mostly only had class time to make sure the actors knew their blocking, cues, and characterization.For a lot of it I had to do on my own time beyond the classroom, like finding the right sounds and recording the lighting cues. All of us have put in a lot of work. I’m thankful for everyone that helped with the process.”

The cast took their audience through the past, present, and future of Ebenezer Scrooge’s life and all of the twists and turns that usually go along with the story. Each cast member did a great job in playing their role and making the story come to life. This one-night-only play was great and helped bring the Christmas spirit to Mansfield!
