Christmas plays until December 29 at the Kirby Theatre on the campus of Drew University. The Shakespeare Festival ends its season with a beautifully rendered production of Dickens "A CHRISTMAS CAROL". Delight in all the past memories of Christmas past, the sadness of Christmas present and the fear of Christmas to be. Relish the transformation of Ebeneezer Scrooge as he morphs from a mean, stingy old man into a man many years younger in spirit and full of hope and giving to those in need. Whether on film or on stage, Scrooge's transformation is always a joy to behold. As always, with this brilliant group of actors, directors and designers, the evening or matinee leaves the audience with the pleasure of having been a part of a great theatrical experience.. Still time to catch this wonderful Christmas tradition. No humbug this!

There is an abundance of history here, as well as some very well maintained hiking trails. Transport yourself to the revolutionary war period and get a feel for what it may have been like for Washington and the patriots that freed us from England. Look at the encampments to see hoe the troops lived Back then! No internet or GPS.

Located in downtown Morristown, N.J., Macculloch Hall has been part of the local community for over 200 years, first as the home to community-minded residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (1775-1858, 1785-1863), and since 1950, as a not-for-profit museum and garden. Founder W. Parsons Todd (1877-1976) endowed MHHM as a resource for all Morristown and Morris County residents. A Federal brick mansion, Macculloch Hall was built in 1810 by George Perrott Macculloch (1775-1858), the "Father of the Morris Canal." Today this historic house and decorative arts museum comprises nine period rooms, two exhibition galleries, a dedicated classroom, and an expansive formal garden, which is open to the public free of charge.

We had an amazing time with Pat on this special October tour and learned so much. The house is beautiful inside and out and Pat was a wealth of information. She is so passionate about the home, Victorian mourning traditions, and the stories of the people who lived there. We could have stayed all day and listened to everything she knew!

We go to Mayo 2 or 3 times a year and have always enjoyed the shows. They have a large selection of shows to choose from during the year so there is something that should please everyone. The theater is comfortable with good sound system especially for an older building. Parking is convenient especially if have dinner before a show, you can park next door. There are public lots not far from the theater as well as other lots from which there are shuttles. The last show we saw was Celtic Angels. It was entertaining with 5 women singers with beautiful voices. There was a wonderful fiddle player as well as 5 extradordinary male dancers. Celtic angels similar to Celtic Woman with maybe singing more recent Irish songs intetmixed with some traditional ballads. There was one odd issue is that for a few seconds bright lights from the stage would shine directly into the audience making it difficult to see. Mayo is higher recommended.
