When specialist James Harvey (Bill Pullman) arrives to communicate with Casper and his fellow spirits, he brings along his teenage daughter, Kat (Christina Ricci).

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
LIBERTY THEATER
NOV 13 - DEC 6, 2025
CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
This year's Liberty Theater presentation of "A Christmas Carol" combines the beloved story of the same title published by Charles Dickens in 1843, and the well-known short story, "The Gift of the Magi," published by O. Henry in 1905. Woven together, these two beautiful stories become one tale, in which the hard-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted with the choice between a self-imposed hell and a redeeming, selfless love. The strength of charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence is the focus of this reimagined stageplay written by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson, who have also collaborated in the creation of new music and lyrics to help bring the story to life, and produced by Touchet Valley Arts Council Productions.
Directed by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson. Book and new music by Mike Ferrians and Brenda Henderson, based on the works of Charles Dickens and O. Henry, A Christmas Carol

THE SENIOR, directed by Rod Lurie (The Outpost, The Contender), is based on the true story and book The Senior: My Amazing Year as a 59-Year-Old College Football Linebacker by Mike Flynt and Don Yaeger.
In 1971, Flynt was expelled from Sul Ross State University’s football team, losing his senior season — something he regretted for decades. In 2007, at age 59, he discovered he still had eligibility left, rejoined the team, and became the oldest contributing player in NCAA history, inspiring many with his story of redemption.
The film brings this remarkable comeback to the screen, with Michael Chiklis playing Flynt. Known for portraying strong, deeply human characters, Chiklis embodies Flynt’s determination to finish what he started and prove it’s never too late for a second chance.
