A Sweet Opening to a Seasonal Classic

A Christmas Carol Sweets Spectacular was the perfect pre-show reception for the opening night of BTG’s 13th Annual Community Production of A Christmas Carol!

Jamie Muschett stands in a white chef coat smiling. He is behind two tables in an L-shape, which are holding the glorious array of holiday sweets he has made for the event.
Revelers gathered together to taste the array of sweets prepared by Jamie Muschett, local entrepreneur (pictured above).

Three cakes in the shape of presents are displayed surrounded by lights and candy canes.

Holiday sweets set the stage before the Christmas classic, including an array of cakes decorated as Christmas presents (pictured above).

Some cast members of A Christmas Carol stand on stage with the attendees from A Christmas Carol Sweets Spectacular.
After a show filled with warmth and light, event attendees posed for a picture with the cast!

A Christmas Carol runs through December 22 at The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield. Visit our Show Page for more information and to buy your tickets now!

BTG is saddened to know that Alan Filderman passed away on March 19. For many years, he was the casting director for Berkshire Theatre Group. In 2020, with choreographer Gerry McIntyre, he directed Godspell in the height of the Covid pandemic under a tent outdoors at The Colonial Theatre. As someone once said, "Everything`s more fun with Alan." Alan Filderman loved the theatre, whatever stage door through which he has now passed, may he find peace.
