Christmas Carol in Dallas Dec 23

So it has been determined... I will in fact, for the first time in my life, be attending the Dallas Theatre Center's "A Christmas Carol" on December 23rd.

Obviously we are all familiar with the story "A Christmas Carol", and it has, over the past few decades, become one of the most popular plays to produce around Christmas time. The Dallas Theatre Center performs this every year, and I have never been able to attend.
However, I will be going this year to enjoy a pleasant experience of holiday cheer.

Of course I strongly encourage anyone interested in Theatre (or just looking for a family friendly holiday event, for that matter) to go and watch this play. If you are in the Dallas area, this is something you should not miss during your holidays.

Synopsis:

November 26-December 24, 2010
By Charles Dickens
Adapted by Richard Hellesen
Music by David de Berry
Directed by Matthew Gray
Kalita Humphreys Theater
SCROOGE UP YOUR HOLIDAYS.
It’s the Dallas Theater Center production everybody in town, from toddlers to grandparents, looks forward to the most. No holiday story compares to A Christmas Carol. And no holiday season is complete without this bright, funny, spooky, moving, soul-stirring, heart-warming, uplifting classic. It’s filled with traditional and original songs that will have you whistling on your way home as merrily as Mr. Fezziwig. For the first time, Brierley Resident Acting Company member and longtime Dallas Theater Center favorite, Chamblee Ferguson (Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream) will portray the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. Get in the spirit with this glorious production, which helps support the North Texas Food Bank. As Tiny Tim would say, “God bless us, every one!”
