An endearing tale that focuses on the difficult issue of bullying and how mistreating someone because he or she is different from oneself brings as much harm to the bully as to the victim. Based on the Newbery Honor Book by Eleanor Estes. “When 'The Hundred Dresses' began I got the chills. I knew that those children in the audience were the children that needed to see it the most. The behavioral problems at the school are tremendous and yet they sat awestruck through the entire production. I was so touched and so hopeful. Hopeful that the students were touched as much as I was…" -Jillian Vukusich, Education Associate Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, West Palm Beach, Florida

Scrooge refuses to contribute to the local charity's fund for the poor. He even refuses the invitation of his nephew, Fred, to join his
family for a holiday celebration. It is only later that night when he is visited by a succession of spirits - the ghost of his deceased part-
ner, Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come - that Ebenezer considers the consequences of his
past and present actions and reconsiders his outlook on life.
