GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST

Carl Robinett’s sister is so excited to be back in A Christmas Carol! Kelly’s first Christmas Carol was in 2014 when after helping Carl practice various lines for the show in 2013, she thought to herself, I’m basically in the show myself! The following year she scored a role in A Christmas Carol herself, Carl’s previous role! Two years later, she would play a role following in her sister Helen’s footsteps as well. This time, she has scored a role that neither sibling has played: Ghost of Christmas Past/Lamplighter! She wants to thank them and her fans for believing that she can play a role without her siblings doing it first!
