South Bend Civic Theatre Stages A CHRISTMAS CAROL for the Holiday Season

By:

When the weather outside is frightful, South Bend Civic Theatre will serve an artistic Christmastime feast, wrapping their 2015 season with a unique adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol. Director Kevin Dreyer lights the candles of this timeless, holiday piece adapted by SBCT's own David Chudzynski.

When the opportunity to direct A Christmas Carol was presented to Dreyer, he was also given the option to select any version he felt drawn to the most. This opened the door to create an original adaptation for the South Bend audience. He shared, "What better way to contribute to this year's SB150 celebration? This collaboration with David and Mark bred an original script that is distinctly crafted to place this famous tale in our beloved, historic town."

Artistic Director Mark Abram-Copenhaver celebrates this regional twist, "This variation of Dickens' beloved, yuletide tale is distinctly different from many traditional versions. David has preserved the beauty and power of Dickens' original language throughout the script, and the cast has done a marvelous job in bringing it to our stage."

William Loring fills the humble shoes of Bob Cratchit, and he is opposite Frank Quirk as the colder-than-Winter mizer, Ebenezer Scrooge. Emily Beck is the serenely supportive, Mrs. Cratchit, Sam Palmer is the brightly shining Tiny Tim, and Allan Holody is the haunting Marley, joining the wonderful cast and crew of Michiana talent bringing all of your favorite Christmas Carol characters to life.

What: South Bend Civic Theatre presents A Christmas Carol, adapted by David Chudzynski, based on the novel by Charles Dickens.

When: December 4-20, 2015; Wed.- Sat. evenings at 7:30 pm, Sun. matinees at 2 pm.

Where: Inside the Wilson Theatre, 403 N. Main St, South Bend, IN 46601
