Letter to the www.Litchfield.bz editor as published in the Opinion section:

To the Editor:
There were so many best things about Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol performed in the Community Room of the Oliver Wolcott Library this week.
Over 100 in the theater Thursday evening surpassed the sold out number, and we thank Litchfield for supporting this old time radio play reading.
Brendan Wilson as Tiny Tim opened the show by conducting a Moment of Silence for the Sandy Hook victims his age.
Jim Stedronsky portrayed Scrooge as well as any Hollywood actor could.
The audience took in the important message of the show, loudly singing half a dozen carols with the cast of 16, to the beautiful keyboard music of Justyn Zitnay.
The Cratchit family was superbly portrayed by Litchfield's own family David, Anna Marie, Elizabeth, Thomas and Brendan Wilson.
From Ed Doyle's Jacob Marley to Father Tucker's Ghost of Christmas Past, John Endicott's nephew Fred, Allan Cohen's Husband and Howard Kerpelman's Gentleman, performances were straight from 1843 London, which you may hear as often as you like at the OWL on line podcast in January.
There were tears in our eyes when Kate Baldwin as Belle rejected greedy young Ebenezer, played by Nathaniel Breg.
Distinguished Bill Savoia was just like Orson Welles from 1939, and I enjoyed plugging Campbell's Soup as the radio sponsor.
Ann Marie White's capable staff, especially Heather Wilder and Jackie Zdanis set up a perfect stage, followed by Mary Tavino hosting a great cast party.
Litchfield, which itself thrived in 1843, enters this festive season with Ebenezer Scrooge's lesson before us: by giving we receive. In 2013 let's eliminate all Bah Humbug from our lives. God bless us everyone!
Respectfully, Pete Tavino
