Thanksgiving is upon us which means that no sooner is the leftover turkey and dressing stashed in the fridge that theaters throughout Atlanta (and the English speaking world) will open Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." But what would happen if a professional production of the tale went hilariously wrong?
ACT1 Theater presents "A Dickens' Christmas Carol," Mark Landon Smith's scrambled adaptation of Dickens' beloved Christmas story. Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, and all of the required characters are present in Victorian London in the year of our Lord, 1843, as the seven member Styckes-Upon-Thump Repertory Theatre Company perform the Dickens classic during their annual farewell tour in England. Bettina, the company diva, pretends to be ill, certain the production will be canceled. However, much to her shock and rage, the show does go on without her! Mayhem ensues as she battles to reclaim her roles, and everything that could possibly go hilariously wrong does.
"A Dickens' Christmas Carol" opens Friday, November 26 and runs through Sunday, December 19. Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 PM, with Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM on December 5, December 12, and December 19. Tickets are $15 for adults, and $12 for seniors age 60 and above, and for children age twelve and under. ACT1 Theater is located in the Alpharetta Presbyterian Church, 180 Academy Street, 20009 in Alpharetta. For tickets go to http://www.act1theater.com/, or (770) 663-8989.
