Photos: First Look at Silicon Valley Shakespeare's Extended Run Of A CHRISTMAS CAROL
This immersive and walking production is a unique holiday experience for the entire family.
Silicon Valley Shakespeare's inaugural production of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL, adapted by the late Richard Orlando (Northside Theatre Company founder and Artistic Director), sold out in a matter of weeks. But thanks to their friends at the host production venue, History Park San José, and the flexibility and willingness of their cast and crew, Silicon Valley Shakespeare has added new dates and times to their historic run!
Get a first look at photos below!
Set against the expansive backdrop of History Park San José's 14 acres of preserved and reproduced homes from a long-gone era, this immersive and walking production is a unique holiday experience for the entire family that takes audience members back in time with Ebenezer Scrooge as he literally walks down memory lane.
For the run of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SVS is hosting a toy drive with community partner, Family Giving Tree. At every performance, SVS is collecting unwrapped toys such as LEGO blocks, Barbie playsets, Monster Truck toys, skateboards, helmets, robot animal toys, Lite-Brites, and so much more; for a list of the most-needed gifts please visit their website.
And cosplay is encouraged for audience members. So dust off your Dickens-inspired ensembles, or go as your favorite ghost from A CHRISTMAS CAROL, and be prepared to encounter one of the holiday season's most beloved stories like you have never seen it before!
As of the publication of this article, a very limited number of tickets are available for the 2 PM matinee performance on Saturday, December 17th.
