Louisville’s biggest holiday tradition for 33 years, Fifth-Third Bank’s A Christmas Carol, returns to Actors Theatre of Louisville November 26 through December 23 in the 637-seat Pamela Brown Auditorium. Performances are Tuesday through Sunday with family-friendly curtain times at 7 p.m. each evening and 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
Press opening is set for November 29 at 2 p.m.
A cherished part of the yuletide season in Kentuckiana since 1976, A Christmas Carol offers the warmth and goodwill of Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of the true meaning of Christmas with familiar characters and spellbinding stage magic. Barbara Field adapted the Dickens classic and Sean Daniels, Actors’ Associate Artistic Director, will direct the production.
Daniels has added 16 songs to this year's production making it a celebration with music. Actors who are also musicians will perform the music live.
The cast of 30, who portray over 50 characters, includes longtime favorites of the Louisville stage such as William McNulty (Scrooge), Fred Major (Schoolmaster/Old Joe) and Ann Hodapp (Mrs. Grigsby). The three actors combined represent nearly 50 years of Actors Theatre A Christmas Carol experience.
Special Events
Following the 2 p.m. December 14 matinee performance of A Christmas Carol, the theatre is hosting "Tea with the Cratchits" at 3:30 p.m. The afternoon event includes tea and pastries with the Cratchit family actors and a special behind-the-scenes tour of the production. Tickets are $20 for the tea and are available at the box office. -- www.actorstheatre.org
