Miners Alley Playhouse to Stage Hilarious New Adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL

By:

Miners Alley Playhouse presents "A Christmas Carol" November 25 - December 23 in Golden. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30p.m; Sundays at 2:00 p.m.; Wednesday, December 21 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 Adult/$22 Senior/$14 Child 12/Under and are available by calling 303-935-3044 or online at www.minersalley.com. Miners Alley Playhouse is located at 1224 Washington Avenue. Golden, CO 80401.

This "A Christmas Carol", is a fast-paced adaption, which uses only five actors to bring Dickens' most beloved characters to life. From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mrs. Fezziwig, Barlow uses nothing more than simple props, fun physicality, and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption. Witness for yourself, Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in an amazing new adaption that is destined to become your favorite holiday celebration!

The cast includes Jim Hunt as Scrooge with Josh Hartwell (Actor One), Lisa DeCaro (Actor Two), Meredith Young (Actor Three) and Jason Maxwell (Actor Four).

Patrick Barlow is an English actor, comedian and playwright. His comedic alter ego, Desmond Olivier Dingle, is the founder, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the two-man National Theatre of Brent, which has performed on stage, on television and on radio. His adaption of, "A Christmas Carol", conveys the story in such a big, stunning way it is impressive. Still, it never puts visuals or "special effects" over the story, which comes across in an exceptionally moving way, while keeping it light, often humorous, and festive. There are the small touches that set this adaptation apart from Dickens' original: the occasional anachronistic phrasing, fourth wall disintegration, and a dash of puppetry.
