Photo Flash: A TWISTED CHRISTMAS CAROL Opens Upstairs at the Group Rep in the Lonny Chapman Theatre
The Group Rep's world premiere production of A Twisted Christmas Carol, written by Phil Olson, directed by Doug Engalla, produced by Alyson York, a Texas style spoof of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," played to a sold out crowd at opening night. The play runs December 15, 2019 through January 12, 2020, Upstairs at the Lonny Chapman Theatre in North Hollywood, California.
It's Christmas Eve in a small west Texas town and cantankerous barbecue joint owner Buford Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Darla, tells her he's skipping Christmas, he storms out of the restaurant, goes four wheeling in his pickup, gets hit by a twister, rolls his truck and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by ex-business partner, Hank Walker, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Hank takes Buford (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" only Texas style.
The cast features the talents of Van Boudreaux, Paul Cady, Christian Land, Lisa McGee Mann, and Veronica Roy.
The Production/Design Team includes Chris Winfield (Set Design), Kenny Harder (Lighting Design), Steve Shaw (Sound Design), Stephanie Colet (Costume Design), Doug Haverty (Graphic Design), Doug Engalla (Promotional Video & Photography), Kristin Stancato (Marketing/Social Media), Joseph Marcelo (Stage Manager), and Marc Antonio Pritchett (Assistant Director).
