Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"

Clowns, puppets, improv, mime, funny accents & hat-swapping, It’s all for fun in a delightful production of “A Christmas Carol” December 4 – 20, at Trinity House Theatre in Livonia. This is a fast-paced, hilarious treatment of an all time Holiday favorite sure to please the young, the old, and everyone in need of a little Christmas Spirit.

 

This adaptation of the Charles Dickens’ classic by Doris Baizley, is a show-within-a-show zany romp where a rag-tag company of players portray numerous characters, portray various props, and generally run amok bursting with Christmas spirit. The troupe soon discovers that the actors playing Scrooge and Tiny Tim have abandoned the tour; but the show must go on, and the prop boy eagerly volunteers for the part of Tim while the cynical stage manager must be forcibly drafted to play the old miser. He unwillingly transforms into the miser and journeys through the tale the Christmas Spirits work their magic, a Trio of Clowns play numerous props, and the overly-enthusiastic company finally suck Scrooge (and the Stage Manager) into their happy Christmas world. . “It’s a hilarious marathon,” comments Director, Rob Papineau “these actors leap from one character to the next.”
