Ms Scrooge is a delightful twist on the classic Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol. The story centers on the self-absorbed mogul of a large fashion design business, Ebonita Scrooge. In this story, Ebonita is visited by some very fashion-challenged ghosts, who cause her to reconsider how she is conducting her life and the effect it has on others.
In this production Shelley Long played the lead role of Ebonita Scrooge, and was supported by a cast of fresh faces to the Salida theatre scene.

Wit, by Margaret Edson
Stage Left Theatre Company presented the Pulitzer Prize winning Play from 1999, Wit, the second and third weekends in October.
In her extraordinary first play, Margaret Edson has created a work that is as intellectually challenging as it as emotionally immediate. Vivian Bearing, Phd., a renowned professor of English who has spent years studying and teaching the brilliant and difficult metaphysical sonnets of John Donne, has been diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. During her stint as a prize patient in an experimental chemotherapy program at a major teaching hospital, Vivian comes to reassess her life and her work with a profundity and humor that are transformative both for her and the audience.
Directed by Greg West, the cast was lead by Shelley Jacobs and included Stage Left veterans Zac Vosburgh, Pat Holmland, Courtney Shucker, Vialia Davidson, and newcomers Jim Gibbard, Eliza Jensen, Alex Sosnowski, and Twyla McClung.

"Shelley Jacobs' portrayal of the distinguished professor, Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., in the play, Wit is the most spectacular community theatre performance I can recall in more than 25 years of reviewing community theatre." - Arlene Shovald, The Mountain Mail
