This time though, the enduring tale of old Ebenezer gets a little twist as Monique Foster adds a little bit of music, and a lot of dance.

It really is a fantastic production, perfect for the entire family to enjoy, says Foster, who has been in the entertainment industry her entire life, and has been the owner of the wildly successful Alamogordo Academy of Ballet for 12 years. Due to her success in Alamogordo, Foster decided to expand to Las Cruces and open The Las Cruces School of Dance and Music. Foster will christen her new school with this production, which will rely on talent drawn from both Alamogordo and Las Cruces. The production's talent-packed cast includes Mike Julien as Ebenezer Scrooge, who works as a local realtor, and Aaron Lindsay as Marley's Ghost, who studies at NMSU.

A city in the Tularosa Basin of the Chihuahuan desert, it is bordered on the east by the Sacramento Mountains and to the west by White Sands National Monument. It is the city nearest to Holloman Air Force Base. The population was 30,403 as of the 2010 census.

Humans have lived in the Alamogordo area for at least 11,000 years. The present settlement, established in 1898 to support the construction of the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad, is an early example of a planned community. The city was incorporated in 1912. Tourism became an important economic factor with the creation of White Sands National Monument in 1934. During the 1950-60s, Alamogordo was an unofficial center for research on pilot safety and the developing United States' space program.
