BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center to Present A CHRISTMAS CAROL, 11/23

BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, the longest operating performance venue in lower Manhattan, proudly presents A Christmas Carol, in conjunction with Theatreworks USA, on Sunday, November 23 at 1:30PM. A Christmas Carol is part of BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center's 2014-2015 Family Theater Season, featuring plays, musicals, puppetry, concerts and dance for all ages.

Start the holiday spirit with Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and all the rest in our heartwarming musical based on the Dickens classic. "Inspired, funny and intimate," raves The New York Times.

A Christmas Carol, produced by Theatreworks USA, captures both the humorous and touching moments of the classic story with witty dialogue and fresh new songs, conveying Dickens' original message that the holiday season should be a "kind, forgiving, charitable time," a sentiment which still rings true today.

A Christmas Carol was adapted from Charles Dickens and was originally directed by David Armstrong (artistic director of Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, the largest regional theatre in the northwest), the lyrics are by Mark Waldrop (Rodgers and Kleban Award-winning lyricist; director of Bea Arthur: Just Between Friends on Broadway (Tony nomination)), and the music is by Dick Gallagher (Rodgers Award-winning composer; music director for Patti Lupone,). Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Waldrop previously collaborated on Whoop-Dee-Doo! and When Pigs Fly, and all three writers created Theatreworks USA's Gold Rush! The scenic design is by Doug Huszti and the costume design is by Christianne Myers. This 60-minute musical is recommended for audiences age 6 and up.
