Charles Dickens News

Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) continues its 39th season with a beloved Christmas story, A Christmas Carol.

The American Shakespeare Center (ASC) begins its annual Holiday Season on November 29 with performances of A Christmas Carol and Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!).

December is a month for honoring traditions, celebrating with family and friends and reminding ourselves that compassion and kindness never go out of style. Fortunately for all of us, 170 years ago Charles Dickens mixed those things together and created a story he called A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost-Story of Christmas. The title has been shortened over time but not its ability to lure us into the story.

Faithful to the original text, what is 175 years old is new again

Anywhere you live in the country, there is at least one theater doing it during the holidays at least one theater that has a production known for being the region's big, must-see holiday event. Our part of the country is no different, as there are a few different productions of A Christmas Carol running this month, including some that have been ongoing for some time. In Guthrie, A Territorial Christmas Carol has been an annual family traditions for thirty years. As with many versions of the story, this one adapts it for a different time period, taking it out of Dickensian England and placing it at another moment in history. In keeping with Guthrie's proud history, that moment is the time when Oklahoma was at its youngest, not long after the land run of 1889, when Guthrie was the capital of the new territory, years before it would become a state.

It's that time of year, when the Playhouse d cor hangs quite full of cheer and onstage music, dancing, Christmas-time romancing brings classic songs to mind, love and hope combine, in a Flat Rock holiday revue! That's right, folks! Tis' the season for frosted windowpanes, candy canes, sleigh rides and chestnuts roasting on an open fire holiday traditions made extra special by experiencing them with loved ones!

As far as our fickle adult memory is concerned, there could be very few child roles in major Broadway and West End musicals that captured our hearts: Annie, Oliver, Mary Lennox, and Dorothy. Matilda is the latest welcome addition.
