Clowns, puppets, improv, mime, funny accents & hat-swapping, It’s all for fun in a delightful production of “A Christmas Carol” December 2 – 18, at Trinity House Theatre in Livonia. This fast-paced, hilarious treatment of the all time holiday favorite is bursting with Christmas Spirit for the young & old!

This zany adaptation of the Charles Dickens’ classic by Doris Baizley, is a show-within-a-show romp where a rag-tag company of actors play multiple characters, act-out the props, and generally run amok 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! The Prop Boy eagerly plays Tiny Tim, while the "crabby" Stage Manager is magically transformed into the old miser. The enthusiastic "actors" suck him into their happy Christmas world, playing everything from carollers and ghosts to birds and furniture! "The Stage Manager's journey with the Three Spirits is a hilarious marathon!" laughs Director Rob Papineau, "these actors dash from one character to the next!"
