Local production a holiday tradition

SYLVIE BELMOND/Acorn Newspapers STRANGE ENCOUNTER— Edd Hall, right, as Ebenezer Scrooge, expresses his discontent to Marley, portrayed by Gene Bernath, in this year's production of the Thousand Oaks Repertory Company's "A Christmas Carol." Many local actors and children were featured in the play, which took place at the Civic Arts Plaza's Scherr Forum last week. The show, directed by Allan Hunt, included daytime performances for schoolchildren and weekend performances for other theatergoers.
