ONE-MAN CHRISTMAS CAROL Highlights Hamilton Stage Nov. 30

By:
Master storyteller Jonathan Kruk rings in the holidays with a one-man performance of A Christmas Carol Sunday, November 30, 2014 at 2 p.m., at UCPAC's Hamilton Stage, 360 Hamilton Street, in Rahway.

Using over 30 character voices, Kruk delivers a dramatic retelling of Charles Dickens' timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.

Musical accompanist Jim Keyes supplements the onstage action with a 19th-century parson's organ, harp, violin and chains.

Tickets are $18 and available online at www.ucpac.org, by calling (732) 499-8226 or in person at Union County Performing Arts Center box office, 1601 Irving Street, Rahway.

Featured on CBS Sunday Morning and in the New York Times, Jonathan Kruk has been inspiring active listening and vivid imagining at schools, libraries, parks and concert halls across the U.S. for a quarter century. From Shakespeare and Sir Gawain to Rip Van Winkle and the Headless Horseman, Jonathan assumes dozens of character guises that bring literary classics to vibrant life.
