        "My wife and I have attended 'Change' every year since it began in 2008," says Pennsylvania State Senator Mario Scavello. "It is one show we both enjoy seeing...it gives a powerful Christmas message."

        The story unfolds in the fictional town of Stroudsville, with everyone caught up in the craziness of the holidays, Claire, the neurotic owner of Starcups, prays and hopes the townspeople will see the true meaning of Christmas.  She is pleasantly surprised when the quarter, Change, played by actor and director, Kimberly Smith, magically comes to life and pays the town an unexpected visit to bring "change" to everyone in Stroudsville-  that is if the mischievous Von Villain and the hard-hearted Russian butcher don't ruin Christmas."
