PlayMakers Repertory Company announces the return of Ray Dooley's solo performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL on Dec 16-17. Don't miss this heartwarming show!

What’s the holiday season without a performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL? Ever since it was first published, theaters have shared productions of Charles Dickens’s classic story every year. PlayMakers Repertory Company’s radio play production is a great example of how a theater can adapt to create something that fits the strange year this has been.

Ray Dooley has been a member of the PlayMakers acting company for nearly thirty years. And it's been over twenty years since he donned a Victorian top hat for that great Christmas classic, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. In this adaption by William Leach, Dooley becomes a master storyteller, embodying Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim and a lifetime of Christmas memories in the soul-stirring and heartwarming tale of reclamation, charity, and love.

In honor of its fiftieth anniversary season in 2011-12, Great Lakes Theater (GLT), Cleveland's professional classic company, will honor "Fifty Stars" - individuals and organizations whose contributions to the theater have shone the brightest over the company's five-decade history.
