The Ghost of Christmas Past
Of course, the headline event is the exciting performance of RPL's original Winter Musical, "A Christmas Carol: A New Musical Adventure" -- starring our talented troupe of young performers age 6-16 and featuring a dozen stunning artistic puppets by New York Artist Chris Hammer.  The shows begin at 3:00pm.

Cleverly set to traditional Christmas carols, the musical is a child-friendly retelling of the  classic story by Charles Dickens.  ​Get ready to hum along!

The musical follows the bitter and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by a group of mysterious Shadows who give Scrooge a glimpse at Christmases past, present, and future -- with a warning for what will happen if he does not change his ways!

   * Bringing your own lawn chairs or picnic blanket is encouraged.
