There weren’t a lot of Scrooges during the run of the Dallas Theater Center’s production of “A Christmas Carol” — other than the one onstage. The DTC collected money for the North Texas Food Bank during every performance, and when all was said and done, patrons donated in excess of $39,000. (The check above, held by the DTC gay artistic director, Kevin Moriarty and the food bank’s COO, Paul Wunderlich, reflected the amount raised before the final performance.)  All of which means, many hungry North Texas need not rely on the workhouses, nor feel they must die to decrease the surplus population, as Ebenezer so cruelly suggests. It’s a good way to start off 2009.
