After the play, the children and their parents gathered near the stage for a question and answer session by the cast. Tommy S. wanted to know how the ghost of Mr. Marley put on his chains. http://www.theatrethree.com/pages/1/index.htm Saturday, November 8th, 2003 - Islanders Hockey Game We saw the Islanders lose to the Atlanta Thrashers in a good game.
