Parson's Nose to Stage A CHRISTMAS CAROL
"I've tried to highlight the marvelous descriptions Dickens gives us," says Davis. "We usually miss it in productions. That stuff we skipped over in high school, but now have time to savor. His description of Scrooge's house, so lonely, as if it had gotten lost while playing hide and seek with all the other houses; of the bustling of the grocer's shops, and the crisp snow-covered evening; all told with his genius, a celebration of the English language. He makes you feel like roasting chestnuts, right here in Pasadena."
The PNT adaptation of A Christmas Carol will combine narration of Dickens' original text, brought to life by Mary Chalon and Barry Gordon, and performed dialogue by favorite Parson's Nose Company Members, featuring Artistic Director, Lance Davis, as the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge. After the readings, audience members are invited to enjoy a glass of cheer with the PNT Company.
Parson's Nose Theater's 2015-16 Season continues with A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, December 19th at 7pm and December 20th at 3pm.
Parson's Nose Theater performs at Lineage Performing Arts Center located at 89 South Fair Oaks, Pasadena, CA 91105
