An American Country Christmas Carol has a new score with lyrics by Scott Logsdon and music by Rand Bishop, Kent Blazy, Roxie Dean, Tim Finn, Billy Kirsch, J. Fred Knobloch and Pam Rose. The musical, according to press notes, "sets the Dickens story of faith, family and redemption in the American south."

In keeping with the themes of the show, the producers of the reading are joining forces with three local charities to assist people who find themselves in need. Donations are being raised for The YMCA Urban Youth Development Fund, and audience members attending the reading are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, which will go to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, and to bring unwrapped presents, which will go to The Last Minute Toy Store.
