ONE NIGHT ONLY! “THE 

CHRISTMAS CAROL MURDER 

MYSTERY” AT SIERRA MADRE 

PLAYHOUSE ON 

DECEMBER 22

 For those of you who enjoy “A Christmas Carol”, 
you can enjoy the Sierra Madre Playhouse’s mainstage production 
of the traditional tale of Scrooge and Tiny Tim. 
But here’s a twist on the Christmas Carol you’re familiar 
with. You still get the story you love, slightly condensed, 
except by the end of Act 1 a murder has happened. Jacob 
Marley becomes the detective, thanks to night school, and 
the characters you love, Bob and Ethel Cratchit, Fred and 
Elizabeth, Belle and of course, Tiny Tim, are all suspects. 
Oh, did we say there are your usual Ghosts and even a surprise 
ending? Enjoy one of your favorite Christmas stories 
with this interactive Murder Mystery worked into a joyous 
holiday tale.

 This Dickens of a murder mystery is directed by 
Ken Salzman and presented by Sanzman Productions 
Renaissance Murder Mystery Players and Sierra Madre 
Playhouse. 

 “The Christmas Carol Murder Mystery.” At Sierra 
Madre Playhouse, 87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre, 
CA 91024. Ample free parking behind theatre. Sunday, 
December 22, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. Admission: $20. Reservations: 
(626) 355-4318. Online ticketing: www.sierramadreplayhouse.

THE COMMUNITY CHORUS OF 
REDLANDS RETURNS 

The Community Chorus of Redlands returns to Sierra Madre for a wonderful 
holiday gift of “A Concert of Anthems, Readings, and Carols of the 
Season.” Be prepared for a moving and unique presentation.

 The event is on Saturday, December 21 at 8 pm at St. Rita Catholic 
Church, 318 N. Baldwin (corner of Grandview), Sierra Madre. Parking 
lot behind the church; enter from E. Grandview.

 Dr. Jeffrey Rickard, Professor Emeritus of Sacred Music, directs a 
70-voice choral ensemble with orchestral accompaniment. The festive 
evening features a wide variety of music. Also on hand is a special appearance 
by Ensemble XXI, a Redlands Camerata of over twenty voices. 

 This is the fifth visit to St. Rita by this very gifted and special group. Dr. 
Rickard originally asked St. Rita to host this event because of the widely 
acclaimed acoustics of the church building. He is a native of Sierra Madre 
and thus presents this very special gift to his former hometown.

 This event has previously been held on a Sunday afternoon. We hope the 
Saturday evening time will allow more people to attend and enjoy this 
wonderful gift and prelude to Christmas.

 Free will offering. For further information, please call St. Rita Parish 
Office, 626/355-1292.
