Celebrate The Christmas Carol Babies!

There are two amazing mothers-to-be in our 2024 production of A Christmas Carol!

Carissa Sams Rouleau, our incredible Stage Manager; and Kaitlyn Olfert, our intrepid Swing will both be welcoming babies in 2025! What a special thing for our Christmas Carol and TC family!

Carissa has given so much of herself to the show for years, but especially this year in her third trimester when she has truly been supporting each and every one of us with kindness, generosity, and TWINS! And she is due just DAYS after the show closes. What a champion!

And while Kaitlyn is new to the Carol Family; her talent, patience, and kindness has quickly become an invaluable pillar of support to the show. Her baby will come in a few months, but the joy of having her with us has made this year so special.

We'd like to put together a fund to celebrate these two women with a little gift of congratulations for this extraordinary time.

We know that Carissa has her heart set on a specific Swing Chair, but it's a bit pricey and she needs two!

And we'd like to give Kaitlyn a gift card to West Coast Kids to find something special from her Carol and TC family when the baby comes.

The fundraising goal is to cover the cost of two chairs, and a gift card to Kaitlyn.

In lieu of cards, we'll also circulate a book for each of them for folks to sign with their well wishes to both new mothers and their families.

Any contribution helps - there's power in numbers, and we all know Carol is a BIG family!

And of course, no one is obliged to give. The gifts will be from all of us, and we'd love to have you sign the books regardless of your donation.

We will aim to have both gifts ready on December 18 after the matinee. No big shower, but maybe a few extra snacks!

This group is so wonderful - thank you for being you!
