True meaning of
Christmas unfolds in spirited solo performance
A holiday classic fit for the entire family, Charles
Dickens’ A Christmas Carol returns to Aurora Theatre this holiday season,
November 25 –December 23!
The timeless tale of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge
(Anthony Rodriguez) and his quest for forgiveness unfolds in an
unforgettable journey of transformation through Christmas past, present,
and future. Deemed one of the greatest Christmas stories of all time,
audiences of all ages will delight in the spirit of the season as they
revisit the splendor of what makes this production a holiday tradition!
“Rodriguez’s powerful one-man performance of A Christmas Carol
is something that never loses its magic, no matter how many times you’ve
seen it over the past decade,” said Tony Brown, the shows adaptor and
director. “It’s his distinctive and personal interpretation, combined
with the intimate, charming setting of the theater that stirs emotion in
all of us to remember the importance of family, friends and the act of
forgiveness.”
Set in the late 1800s on a cold, dark Christmas Eve in
London, A Christmas
Carol transports audiences into the home of the troubled and
resentful Scrooge on Aurora Theatre’s Studio stage. With a heart that’s
been hardened throughout the years, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts –
Christmas past, present, and future – each with a specific story and
lesson to share. As he travels through the spirit world and encounters
forgotten memories and foreshadows of the future, he’s forced to make
certain choices about his life, including whether or not to embrace the
joy of Christmas. Through mannerisms and voice alone, Rodriguez’s
spirited solo performance once again brings the characters of Ebenezer
Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Jacob Marley, and the remarkable ghosts to life
before audience’s eyes! Five-time Suzi Bass Award-winning designers
Isabel and Moriah Curley-Clay will be creating an all new set for this
holiday favorite.
