Auntie Scrooge Brings Holiday Magic to Borrego Springs


Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center transformed into a hub of holiday cheer with Auntie Scrooge – A Backwards Christmas Carol.


Directed by Russell Webb and written by Anthony Palermo, this unique radio-style performance offered a fresh and comedic twist on the timeless Dickens classic.


The talented local cast brought energy and creativity to the production:


  • Glenda Tucker
  • Elaine Hazelrigg
  • Jeff Torkelson
  • Paula Huls
  • Rick Huls
  • Russ Webb
  • Fred Jee
  • Jennifer Looney
  • Phil Newbury
  • Mike Rue
  • Monica Rue
  • Anna Hallett
  • Sarah Fife
  • Jennifer Pollard
  • Terry Miley


Robin Young and John Young worked tirelessly behind the scenes. From managing the ticket booth to ensuring every detail—from sound effects to stage setup—ran seamlessly. (let us know who we missed!)


Audience members were in for a surprise when the performers sat among the crowd before the show began, blurring the line between stage and audience. The highlight of the evening came with the hilarious appearance of the ghost of Bob Marley, offering a comedic twist that kept everyone entertained.


The finale brought smiles all around as the cast burst into dance, spreading joy and cheer throughout the room. The combination of humor, heart, and creativity made Auntie Scrooge a memorable community event, perfectly capturing the spirit of the holiday season.
