Morrison Music Theater Association (MMTA) is disappointed to announce postponement of “A Christmas Carol,” produced as an on-air radio broadcast, set in the 1940s. Productions had been set for Friday, December 4, and Saturday, December 5, 2020. Eric Phend stated, “We’ll do it again!”
Current COVID-19 health restrictions prohibit use of Morrison Institute of Technology auditorium, 701 Portland Avenue, Morrison, IL. “More than ten attendees [at an event] are not allowed.”
This year’s play involved 15 teens and adults to cover the 33 voices,” noted Phend. Actors came from Fulton, Morrison, Prophetstown, Rock Falls, and Sterling, IL, and Clinton, IA.
