The popular novella was adapted by Richard Hellesen and the uplifting score was composed by David de Berry.
Following rave reviews for last season's performance, Royal Shakespeare Company alum Robert Langdon Lloyd returns in the starring role of Ebenezer Scrooge. This season also marks Ian Flanagan's senior year at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts – he started his acting career at Dallas Theater Center at age 4 as Tiny Tim.
"Dickens' mix of passion, humor, and whimsy make A Christmas Carol truly a celebration of generosity and community," said director Joel Ferrell. "This year, we could not be more excited to welcome back Robert Langdon Lloyd, whose remarkable talent, experience, and humor dazzled DTC audiences last winter."
Charles Dickens' most widely recognized and beloved work, A Christmas Carol tells the enchanting tale of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he discovers the true meaning of the holiday on a trip through Christmas past, present, and future. A delight for audiences of all ages, this timeless tale of love and redemption is set against a spectacular Victorian backdrop ablaze with energy and bursting with song and dance.
A Christmas Carol features a cast composed almost entirely of local actors – young and old. Returning to Dallas Theater Center this holiday season are Jakie Cabe, Chamblee Ferguson, Matthew Gray, Melissa Renuka Kamath, M. Denise Lee, Shannon J. McGrann, Dean Nolen, Joanna Schellenberg, Lee Trull, Jessica D. Turner, Bob Reed, and William Junkin as Tiny Tim. Local actors Deborah Brown and Calvin Roberts make their DTC debuts in this year's production.
The design team for A Christmas Carol includes Bob Lavalle (Scenic Designer), Wade Laboissonniere (Costume Designer), Matthew Richards (Lighting Designer), Brian Branigan (Sound Designer), and Lindy Heath Cabe (Musical Director). -- www.dallastheatercenter.org
