The Hill Country Community Theatre is pleased to announce the cast for its holiday production of "A Christmas Carol", by Christopher Schario, adapted from the book by Charles Dickens. "A Christmas Carol" will be directed by Bridget Farias Gates and will begin performances on December 4.
The ensemble includes Patrick Lescarbeau (Scrooge), Gus Henry and Kellan Koch (Actor #1: Schoolboy, Dick Wilkins, Tiny Tim, Turkey Boy (alternating nights)), Glen Bird (Actor #2: Bob Cratchit, Marley's Ghost, Fezziwig, Old Joe), Ocean Fillingim (Actor #3: Fay, Christmas Present, Peter Cratchit), Grace Ann Todd (Actor #4: Gentlewoman #1, Fan, Mrs. Fezziwig, Belle, Martha, Laundress), Cindy Callihan (Actor #5: Gentlewoman #2, Christmas Past, Mrs. Cratchit, Charwoman), Martha Good (Townsperson), Mia Pineda (Townsperson), Spencer Stephens (Fiddler). Tomey McGowen will serve as Stage Manager. This charming adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" focuses on Dickens' powerful language, humor and warmth. This stylized production, performed by a small cast, begins with a child reading the story for the first time. As the scenes play out behind him, the child becomes totally caught up in the story and is finally invited by the other characters to enter the play as one of them. With live sound effects, traditional carols, and English folk tunes creating the proper atmosphere, the world of Scrooge, Fezziwig and Tiny Tim comes alive, igniting the holiday spirit for young and old alike.Videos
