JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL Brings New Perspective to Classic Tale at Barter Tonight
Most are familiar with Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and its heartwarming story of redemption for an ancient, bitter miser named Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge's transformation is only possible after his long-dead business partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the afterlife. While "A Christmas Carol" tells how Scrooge found a new lease on life, it conveniently omits any further explanation of Jacob Marley's side of the story.
JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL tells how Marley is offered a last chance at redemption by saving Scrooge. This journey of laughter, haunting and renewal is a funny and deeply moving story of Marley's life after death.
Hannah Ingram, a long-time member of the Barter Theatre Resident Acting Company, will be directing JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL, and describes it as perfect for anyone looking for a Christmas story with a twist. "People will leave feeling moved by the Christmas spirit and Marley's journey," said Ingram, "But they may get a few scares along the way, as well. It is a Christmas ghost story, after all!"
Starring in JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL are Michael Poisson who will appear as Jacob Marley and Tricia Matthews as Scrooge. Other Barter favorites, Mary Lucy Bivins and Carrie Smith Lewis will also appear in the production in various roles.
JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL will be playing alongside Barter Theatre's Christmas show, "Miracle on 34th Street" and The Barter Players production of "Frosty." For tickets contact the Barter Theatre Box Office at 276-628-3991 or visit bartertheatre.com.
