For the past couple of years, Passage Theatre Company in Trenton has performed my adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens story. This year, they are instead having a holiday singalong, but if you want to get your Carol on, you can see a costumed reading this Wednesday at the Penn Club.
The Friends of Dickens New York is sponsoring the reading, which features Warren Wyss as Scrooge. Warren previously acted with Phylicia Rashad in The Public Theater's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Other readers include Lynn Manuell, Kitty Loving, and myself. Yes, I adapted the script, and will also be performing.
Celebrations commence at a 6:00 reception. Around 6:15, we'll begin caroling, and the reading itself will be at 6:30. The event is for Penn Club members and their guests, but Su Quinn, who is a member of the club as well as a Friend of Dickens, says anyone interested can contact her at: suyapaquinn@me.com
Tickets for non-members are $25 and include complimentary drinks. If you're interested, please come!
