Photo Flash: 'A Christmas Carol' at ACT

ACT Theatre presents its 32nd annual production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, adapted by Gregory A. Falls. This year, A Christmas Carol is directed by R. Hamilton Wright, and features David Pichette and Mark Chamberlin alternating in the role of Scrooge, as well as the ACT debut of Analiese Guettinger in the role of Tiny Tim.

"Dickens' classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the bitter 19th century tightwad who finally finds his Christmas spirit following a night filled with three ghostly visitors from Christmases past, present, and future, comes to brilliant life once again this holiday season – 'Bah! Humbug!' and all. ACT Theatre's production has become a tradition for many Northwest families. Since the play's debut in 1976, more than half a million people have joined Scrooge on his transformational journey," explains press notes.
