4/34 Robert Morton Organ Ohio Theatre - Columbus,
OH Hearing the Mighty Morton
"A Christmas Carol"
Each
year Thanksgiving weekend CAPA hosts a live theater performance of
Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol". During intermission of
the performances, Clark Wilson performs holiday tunes on the Mighty
Morton organ. This is the best time to hear the organ played with a
more classical sound.

theater is host to many events each year, most public, some
