Zombies!
No, not really. But A Christmas Carol is coming back to life this year in the form of a fundraiser for the Marin Arts Council. It took much cajoling on the part of director and friend Argo Thompson, and I eventually caved. Look for more information about a VERY limited run of just two performances in downtown San Rafael on December 18 (8pm) and December 19 (2pm).
This time around, I’m going to do a quasi-reading of the classic tale and I’m going to shorten it to somewhat like Dickens used to do in his traveling performances. He stood at a lectern with his minified version and read/acted out each part. No lectern for my version, but it will be a little different take for those that have seen the show before.
It should be a fun evening…and it’s a fundraiser for the arts in Marin, so you’d better get your tickets as soon as they’re available!
