Christmas spirit, are you born with it, is it something you develop, or is it something you have to learn based on your own experiences? There is a large variety of people with or without Christmas spirit in Patrick Barlow’s version of “A Christmas Carol.” This particular production of a Christmas Carol was performed at the Orpheum theater by the Magic Valley Repertory Theatre in december.

Scrooge 's assault of anything christmas doesn’t only affect him. It has a deep affect on the people he is surrounded by.One of these people is his nephew, Frederick, played by Brendan Rowlands.
