BAINBRIDGE – The Out of the Woodwork Players and the Sidney Community Band join forces on Saturday, December 3 to benefit the Bainbridge and Sidney food pantries.




The 2 p.m. matinee opens with a concert and caroling courtesy of the Sidney Community Band. The event takes place at the Bainbridge Town Hall Theatre.

OWP then takes the stage with Peter Bloedel's one act play, A Seussified Christmas Carol. Classic Dickens gets a Seussy twist with cast members ranging in age from 5 to over 50.




Tom Schimmerling heads the cast as Scrooge, with Cratchits including Andrew Perry (Mr.), Marianne Johansen (Mrs.) and Juliet Sullivan (Timmy Loo Hoo).




Eileen Tallmadge and Pat Hanson narrate while spooky visitors, played by River Tallmadge and Sue Fletcher, join Madyson Smith (Belle), Logan Hunter (nephew Fred), Jonathan Rude (Boy), and Angel Bryan (Maid) in the ensemble.




Scrooge may scoff at community collections, but the Jericho Arts Council and the Out of the Woodwork Players hope you'll come, enjoy and donate shelf stable food items or cash, to fill the Bainbridge and Sidney food pantries for the holidays.
