You know, these people work hard for months to bring a little cheer to people. And all you care about is "taxes" and "welfare"..bah humbug to you!! Great people, great show...

I hate to sit around your holiday table...that conversation would be depressing and boring...maybe you people need a visit from the christmas ghosts.

Nothing wonderful at all...just more feeble attempts to entertain a society that is saturated with entertainment already

I just know how much all this culture garbage costs the taxpayers...why because the Arts and Culture community is on welfare

Please Check you facts Art and Morton. You are mistaken...you are being a downer to something wonderful going on at the Athens Theatre. Shame on you.... Come see Scrooge for your self, if you want to be suprised, that is.

This is just another non profit SCAM that is dependant upon handouts from the Vol. Co cultural council

You can buy tickets at Elusive Grape. Always recommended to go there and get drunk first - it makes it easier to fall asleep during the show making it manageable. By doing this, you also support the downtown businesses.

Hopefully the Athens got their taxes paid. This preposterous organization has taken so much taxpayer funding through the years it is criminal. First they are a non-profit. Then they are a For-profit. Then they get County Council members to allow them to still get Tax payer money as if they are a non-profit. They now charge sales tax tax on sales.
