And here's the story written by Herald-Dispatch reporter Whitney Johnson:
HUNTINGTON -- Four local actors held two performances of How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Empire Books on Saturday evening. The play, which was held in the sitting area of the bookstore, located at Pullman Square, offered entertainment for several young children, along with many adults during the 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. performances.
Dressed with pointed-tipped shoes and rosy red cheeks, Adam Taylor, 15, narrated the entire story, as he chuckled at the Grinch's festivities. After Taylor's introduction to the play, the Grinch peeped from behind the curtain located in the back of the area.
The Grinch, played by 18-year-old Josh Taylor, brought the story to life, as he let out many grunts and growls while running throughout the area stealing Christmas presents.
Max, his dog, was played by Amelia Grey, 24, and soon was dressed in antlers and jingle-bells, helping the Grinch with his Christmas-stealing scheme. Cindy Lou Who, played by 16-year-old Shelby Ward, caught the Grinch as he was trying to steal her presents.
At the end of the performance, the Grinch handed out small bags of candy to each child attending the play and then offered his signature in each How the Grinch Stole Christmas book purchased after the show was completed.
