David Meyers lives in Columbus, Ohio, where, to quote James Thurber, "almost anything is likely to happen, and in which almost everything has." The idea for The Last Christmas Carol popped into Meyers' head while he was watching his 13-year-old daughter and her friends valiantly rehearsing a rather lackluster version of A Christmas Carol. Thinking he could do something more interesting with the Dickens tale, he wrote the book and lyrics over the next couple of months, then enlisted his friend Scott Michal to compose the music. The show was staged in the same theater the following Christmas and taped for broadcast on local television.
