CTC'S ANNUAL 24-HOUR PLAY FESTIVAL DAZZLES AGAIN at Contemporary Theater Company. Written, produced, and performed in a day. Amazing.

At its most fundamental, theater is a group of people coming together to tell a story in front of an audience. In its earliest days, that's all it was, basic and pure, without any need for today's technological lights and sounds (not that there's anything wrong with those). Contemporary Theater Company's production of A Christmas Carol similarly keeps it simple, bringing a group of players to the stage to let them work together to tell the audience a timeless yet still magical story.

Bah humbug! Even the most hard-hearted will find it difficult to keep a smile off their face when the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, comes to the Contemporary Theater Company stage in Wakefield December 5th - 22th. This is the theater's second year producing A Christmas Carol, and director Maggie Cady is excited to explore a traditional telling with a few surprises along the way.

There are few musicals with as prominent a place in the American theatrical canon as 'Gypsy'*. It's a big musical, meant for a proscenium stage, and while the Contemporary has mounted a creditable production, their attempt to fit it into a smaller theatre has not been entirely successful.

Everything's coming up roses this spring at The Contemporary Theater Company! The company will perform the classic musical Gypsy April 12 - May 11.
