Staging for the holidays

Post Gazette: "Without searching too hard, we've come up with a dozen stage shows with a Christmas theme. The biggest is Pittsburgh CLO's perennial 'Musical Christmas Carol,' in its 15th year at the Byham, again starring Edmund Lyndek as a wispy Scrooge with a dark snarl and a sunny smile. Jason Coll directs, with such dependable favorites as Jeff Howell, Danny Krell and Tim Hartman."
