ABOUT THE SHOW
Middlebury Acting Company is thrilled to present a holiday gift to our community, a pay-what-you-can production of Charles Dicken’s beloved story, A Christmas Carol. Everyone is welcome, and nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.
Adapted and directed by Gary Smith, this adaptation stays true to the novella, and deftly integrates Dickens’ witty, pointed, and socially conscious narrative with the heartwarming and familiar journey Ebenezer Scrooge makes from profiteer to philanthropist. Guided by his ghosts and all the story's unforgettable characters, Scrooge makes a courageous and uplifting transformation that in turn transforms the world around him - a journey from darkness to light.
Smith, a MACo Board Member and professional actor/director most recently seen onstage in Outside Mullingar, feels strongly that Dickens’ message of community spirit and generosity is as important as ever for our times. “Middlebury has never had a local, professional production of A Christmas Carol, so we look forward to establishing a new tradition in town that families can look forward to” says Smith, “With the generous support of The Vermont Arts Council, the Vermont Community Foundation, The Vermont Federal Credit Union, The National Bank of Middlebury and many others, we are able to bring the show to the Town Hall Theater Stage and offer it at whatever price level audiences can afford.”
A Christmas Carol features the superb Jordan Gullikson as Mr. Scrooge, supported by a cast of nine seasoned actors and five local children from Middlebury to Burlington. Join us for a new holiday tradition in Middlebury as we offer our imaginative and theatrical version of this classic tale in the spirit of the transformed Scrooge!
Playing at Town Hall Theater on Dec. 3, 4, 9,10,11 at 7pm and Dec. 5 & 12 at 2pm
