PRODUCTION INFO
directed by SAMUEL FISHER
Not the Christmas Carol you’re used to seeing! This highly inventive adaptation of the classic Dickens story, paired down to its essential elements, takes us on the journey of 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 troupe begins creating a magical world of make-believe when they soon discover that the actors playing Scrooge and Tiny Tim have abandoned the tour; but the show must go on! While the prop boy eagerly volunteers for the part of Tim, the cynical stage manager is forcibly drafted to play the old miser. The rag tag players (including the stage manager and prop boy) quickly become the characters of the story, and we are pulled into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge.
