Why you should go see “Scrooge”
Davis High’s very own Dance Company along with many other dancers around Daivs
County is putting on a performance called “Scrooge!” The classic tale of “The Christmas Carol”
by C.S. Lewis is being put together in an entirely new and fun way. Dancers from all across Davis
County, along with Davis High’s Dance Company are currently working hard to put on this
amazing and unique new way to tell the timeless tale of A Christmas Carol. The performance
will be at Weber State University on Thanksgiving weekend, and tickets are now on sale!
The director and choreographer of the performance, and also the Dance Company
coach, Meredith Wright and her family are working hard to create this stunning performance.
DPAC, or Davis Preforming Arts Collection, is a nonprofit organization created by the family. You
might have heard about Grinch, the original production the organization put on for many years.
But after some copyright mishaps, DPAC switched to putting on Scrooge, giving all their effort
into all original choreography and music. “We have live narrators as well as live violists, pianists,
and cellists!” Mylee Lomax, a senior at Davis High Company.
Mylee also has the amazing opportunity to be the leading role of Scrooge in the
performance! When asked what her favorite part of the production was, Mylee said, “My
favorite part of being in Scrooge is the people! Davis [County] has such an amazing dance
community!” While Scrooge gives dancers all around an opportunity to gain experience through
all the different styles of dance integrated into the production, the program also helps connect
dancers to other people their age who share their interests. “This performance is a mixture of
dance, theater, and music!” Mylee said. Even people who don’t have a lot of dance experience
were free to join the production, people who are not only interested in dance, but in other arts
like music and theater. Rahcel Bytheway, part of the Ghost of Christmas Past Ensemble, said, “I
wanted to do Scrooge because I wanted to do something different than what I usually do and
experience something new.” Through cheering each other on during auditions to having fun in
the studio learning dances, Scrooge is a positive environment that every dancer can feel safe
and have fun in.

the studio learning dances, Scrooge is a positive environment that every dancer can feel safe
and have fun in.
That being said, Scrooge takes a lot of work and dedication from the dancers involved as
well as the directors, teachers, parents, etc. So many people have come together to create this
amazing show and have worked long hours. “On Fridays, I have a 6-hour rehearsal,” Mylee
Lomax said, being the lead role in the production. Being in Scrooge no joke, but it gives
everyone involved so much experience and connection. She goes on to say, “That means I get
to work with so many people with so much talent. The teachers are amazing and work so hard
to make every rehearsal a party.” While Scrooge is a lot of work, everyone in it is able to make
it fun to be in, and the passion that everyone puts into the production makes all the work more
than worth it.
Everyone is welcome in Scrooge! When auditions were held, everyone who stepped in
would be part of the production. No one is cut from auditions, and everyone gets a part!
Dancers from all around Davis County have the opportunity to be the show, guaranteed. It’s a
refreshing way to run auditions, with dancers just showing what they can do while being
cheered on my their peers. The environment in Scrooge is the most safe, fun, and entertaining
place for anyone to be.
Tickets are now on sale, ranging from around $12 to $20, depending on the seat you
choose. Tickets are going by fast, so make sure you purchase one to support our Dance
Company and all the teachers, dancers, and directors who have put so much effort into this
production! Performances will be on Thanksgiving weekend, so don’t miss out on the fun!
Without a doubt, you will be able to feel the passion all the dancers have for the performance,
and it is definitely not one to miss!
