Nov. 21, 2024 – For the 13th consecutive year, the cast and crew of Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma’s “A Christmas Carol”, presented by Devon Energy, will collect donations for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma following each performance.

“A Christmas Carol” begins Saturday, Nov. 23 and runs through Dec. 27. Last season, audiences contributed more than $31,000, the highest donation total in the history of the local production.

“The annual production of “A Christmas Carol” is such a special holiday event. We are so grateful to our friends at Lyric Theatre and their loyal patrons,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “It’s rare to see a partnership like this between nonprofits and we encourage everyone to purchase tickets and get into the holiday spirit.”

Since 2011, Lyric Theatre audiences attending the annual holiday production have collectively donated $249,526 to help fight hunger in central and western Oklahoma.

“Lyric Theatre is proud to support the Regional Food Bank with our annual giving event,” said Michael Baron, producing director of Lyric Theatre. “With everyone doing a little over the past 12 years, we as a theatre-going community have been able to provide more than 870,000 meals to our neighbors. Now that’s the spirit of the season!”

Tickets for “A Christmas Carol” are available at LyricTheatreOKC.org or by calling Lyric’s box office at 405-524-9312.
