A HOLIDAY TREAT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

 

Back by popular demand, RAProductions presents the highly entertaining and very successful adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic tale of a miserly man who finds the true spirit of Christmas through the intervention of ghosts. This timely version of “A Christmas Carol” features PAL residents and runs from December 10-13 at the PAL Studio Theatre.

 

In this staged reading of a radio drama by Tony Palermo, the piece moves from the greedy world of “Bah Humbug” to the joy of “God Bless us one and all” and includes all the well known characters. In this production Scrooge will be played by highly acclaimed actor, William Samples and the narrator by PAL President and well-known Vancouver actor, Keith Martin Gordey. Other resident actors include Rosy Frier-Dryden, Sean Allan, Jennifer Riach, David-Paul Grove, Mark McConchie, and Elizabeth Connor.

 

Director Michael Fera and Co-producers, residents Sean Allan and Camilla Ross, transform the PAL Theatre into a contemporary radio studio with live foley (sound effects). The “show within a show” will be performed by PAL resident actors and singers, supported by resident technicians and volunteers and the audience will play the part of studio audience with lots of surprises.

 

“A Christmas Carol” will resonate in these times of financial uncertainty when much of the blame for the “meltdown” was aimed at greed. The sins and final redemption of Scrooge may illuminate some of the causes of the current crisis and offer some hope for the future.
