Adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Christmas story with music.
17 actors, with doubling, townspeople and children
A traditional re-telling of the famous Christmas story with over 30 characters played by as few as 17 actors. The script allows for an expanded cast including children and choruses of townspeople. Michael Walker’s adaptation of this holiday play calls for an open, bare stage, where townspeople bring on scenery and “wagons” to define the locations including street scenes, Scrooges counting house and his famous bedroom. While the scenes are being changed, the townspeople sing traditional carols and might even dance!
