Christmas Classic Theater

What is more representative of Christmas than Dickens, "A Christmas Carol"? This classic story has become synonymous with Christmas. I read the book to my children when they were young and we watched the movie every Christmas.

Everybody is familiar with the Dickens story of miser Scrooge's redemption complete with flying ghosts, but there's a version playing on the Cape with a slightly different perspective. "Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol" written by Tom Mula and presented by The Academy of Performing Arts is playing through December 14th in Orleans. This version tells the story through the eyes of Scrooge's dead partner. The play, directed by Peter Earle, features just four actors costumed in black and simple staging. I haven't seen the play, but it sounds like an interesting take on a classic story.

For more information on the play call the Academy of Performing Arts at 508-255-1963.
