A Ghost of Christmas Pasta femme-forward adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas CarolAdapted by Ashlee WasmundOriginal Music and Lyrics by Kristen Hedbergwww.kristenhedberg.comwww.ashleewasmund.com It premieres this year as a radio-drama, free on all platforms. The cast consists of faculty, students and a guest artist and is supported by a professional orchestra and professional sound editing.In A Ghost of Christmas Past, we reimagine Fan, Scrooges younger sister who makes a brief appearance in the original story. Fan guides us throughout this redemption story a story about recovering something lost something frozen in time and forgotten.For Scrooge, it is a journey from brokenness and fragmentation to a path of integration and wholeness.The music blends flavors of British folk and Celtic sound into a classical lyric style that is relevant to modern ears.The principal characters are equally weighted, bringing the female characters integral to Scrooges life into balance with the male characters. It is this particular imbalance in Scrooge that has separated him from his true self and a chance for family and love.Starting Nov. 26th and available through Jan. 4th, we are scheduled for the following dissemination avenues:Social Media:A Ghost of Christmas Past will launch on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26 at 10 a.m. the production can be viewed via streamed video (featuring images from the design team) and audio on Western Carolina University's Stage and Screen, Bardo Performing Arts Center, Friends of the Art, and University social media channels.Website:Beginning on November 26 at 10AM, the video experience will also be available at arts.wcu.edu/radiodrama.Podcasts:A podcast version of the audio-only radio drama can be downloaded on the website as well.It will be available through all of the main podcast sites and apps as well if you already have a favorite.Radio:Local radio station, WRGC, will play the radio drama if you are interested in listening to the piece in its intended form!
