Barron Spotlighters share proceeds from 'A Christmas Carol' with pantry
The Barron Spotlighters theater group has donated $600 to the Barron Food Pantry from its Christmas show “A Christmas Carol,” where $1 from every ticket sold for the show’s run was earmarked for the pantry. “The show’s director, Beth Halverson, developed this idea to partner with the Barron Food Pantry,” explained Darren Kirby, communications director with the Barron Spotlighters. “One of many important messages from ‘A Christmas Carol’ is to be kind and generous to others, and we wanted to spread the generosity that we experience from the community and give back to those who are in need.” The Barron Spotlighters have two more main shows in their 2023-2024 theater season: “The Play That Goes Wrong” with show dates the last two weekends in February, and the musical “Sugar” with show dates the second and third weekends in April. More information about the Barron Spotlighters is available at barronspotlighters.org.
