An Actor's Carol: One clown's Dickensian Marathon Toward Redemption is a unique and transformative adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale A Christmas Carol, performed by David Weber. The one-man show, adapted for the stage by David Weber, Tim Blewitt, and Zach Hilbun, pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling by incorporating elements of vaudeville, clown, and mime. The kinetic performance, punctuated by moments of clarity and hilarity from our Clown's backstory, promotes an athletic-paced experience that offers a fresh twist on the timeless and redemptive tale.

"I believe a good clown reveals something very honest about themselves, and this show is about the power of that honesty. It is also about redemption , restoration of the spirit, and the haaling power of amends," Weber says.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, the show will feature Christmas carols performed by Joey Ruggiero, an acoustic act before Weber begins, enhancing the audience's immersive experience.
