The Shaw Festival Announces 2017 Production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL
By: BWW News Desk
The Shaw Festival introduces a new annual holiday tradition to Niagara-on-the-Lake: Artistic Director Tim Carroll's fanciful production of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol previews November 15, opens November 25 and runs through December 23 at the Royal George Theatre.
"With its charming architecture, horse drawn carriages and the annual Candlelight Stroll, Niagara-on-the-Lake is already Canada's most picturesque Victorian town, where knowing visitors can experience the magic of an old-fashioned Christmas," says Tim Jennings, Executive Director/CEO of the Shaw Festival. "It seems only natural that A Christmas Carol be a part of the Niagara-on-the-Lake holiday merriment. We hope you'll gather your loved ones together and make the Shaw Festival's A Christmas Carol, and Niagara-on-the-Lake, a part of your annual festivities." Mr. Carroll, a Charles Dickens expert, directed A Christmas Carol in Norway last year to great acclaim and will breathe life into the new production at the Shaw Festival. Dickens's masterpiece will feature 10 Shaw Festival ensemble members, along with whimsical puppetry and some exciting stage magic. Set and costumes by Christine Lohre, lighting by Kevin Lamotte, music direction by Paul Sportelli, and movement and puppetry by Alexis Milligan complete the beloved Christmas tale.
