Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"


Rob Papineau directs a highly inventive adaptation of the Dickens' classic.  You'll encounter a company of traveling players about to enact the Dickens' story.  As the on-stage trunk of supplies opens, actors and clowns spill out and roll on.  The gruff stage manager and prop boy check the show's props, which are shabby and third rate, but the troupe improvises by creating a magical world of make-believe.

The troupe soon discovers that the actors playing Scrooge and Tiny Tim have abandoned the tour; but the show must go on, and the prop boy eagerly volunteers for the part of Tim while the cynical stage manager must be forcibly drafted to play the old miser.

They proceed to work their way through the tale, creating fog, snow, fire and ghosts through mime, imagination and visual effects.  The rag tag players quickly become the characters of the story, and you'll be pulled into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge.  The Christmas Spirits work their magic.  Will they warm the heart of Scrooge, as well as the old stage manager?
