OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - If you want to help families in need while celebrating the spirit of Christmas, look no further than the Lyric Theatre.

The Lyric Theatre will raise money for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma during its production of "A Christmas Carol," which will be held Nov. 16 through Dec. 23.
