ACTS presents new ‘Christmas Carol’ script
ACTS Performing Arts Center presents a recent adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” for a two-weekend run.
Justin Haigh’s adaption, which has played to sold out crowds in Toronto since its debut in 2019, includes original scenes, characters, dialogue and songs in its retelling of the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghosts who visit him one Christmas Eve.
According to director Maria Petrella-Ackley, “I am excited to share this special version of the classic Christmas tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge’s journey through his past, present and future. You see a side to Ebeneezer that is more reflective and nuanced than the classic tale.”
The 27-member cast features George Baumer as Ebenezeer Scrooge, Thomas Morelli as Bob Cratchit, Justin Ray as Jacob Marley and Brinley McCauley as Tiny Tim. The Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future are portrayed by Tina Greig, Mike Allenbaugh and Casey Loren.
“A Christmas Carol” will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday through Dec. 14 at ACTS, 40 S. Irvine Ave., Sharon, Pa. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and are available online at www.actspac.org and by calling 724-815-4388.
