Scrooge will once again take center-stage this year at the Fayette Civic Center, this time as the central character in Charles Dickens’ classic, “A Christmas Carol.” It has been a few years since Scrooge and his supporting cast appeared on the Civic Center’s stage. Dogwood Productions presented the Christian adaptation of Dickens’ timeless story, “The Gospel According to Scrooge,” for many years prior to the untimely death of the show’s director, Deborah Bynum.

Theatrical production of ‘Annie’ to be performed in Fayette

Self Express Productions, in conjuction with The Fayette Arts Council, will present a theatrical version of the hit Broadway musical “Annie” this week at the Fayette Civic Center. Self Express Productions was founded nine years ago by the husband-wife team of Josh and Casey Kauffman. The Kauffmans met and married in New York, but opted to relocate in the Winfield area to be near Casey Kauffman’s dad, Ted Cox, who is a physician in Winfield.
