Geordie Productions Extends A CHRISTMAS CAROL Thru 12/20

Geordie Productions has extended their new theatrical adaptation of the classic holiday favourite, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Adapted by Alexandria Haber, and in co-production with Concordia University's Department of Theatre, this sophisticated production - and largest of the company's history - will now be presented on Geordie's Mainstage at the D.B. Clarke Theatre now through December 20.

It's Christmas Eve on a dark Victorian night and the wealthy miser Mr. Scrooge is haunted by a series of ghosts who show him the inevitable consequences of his selfish ways, if he doesn't change. As the bell in the clock-tower rings, Scrooge is taken on an unforgettable journey into his past, present and future that will help him discover the true spirit of the holidays and open his heart to love.

Under the direction of Dean Patrick Fleming, Geordie's team of prominent and award-winning actors and designers interpret Charles Dickens' timeless story with the spectacular creativity expected with acclaimed past productions such as The Little Prince, Alice Through the Looking Glass and The Jungle Book.

The elegance of the Victorian era is captured with a sophisticated set & lighting design by Ana Cappelluto, period costumes by James Lavoie, sound design by Jesse Ash and choreography by Robin Henderson. David Francis, fresh from his role in Inherit the Wind (Segal Centre) plays Scrooge, with an ensemble cast consisting of Leni Parker (Inherit the Wind, Segal Centre), Michel Perron (In Piazza San Domenico, Centaur Theatre), Owen Clark, Callahan Connor, Shannon Hamilton, Imogen Haworth, Christopher Hicks, Bryan Libero, Charlotte Rogers, Nicholas Santillo, and Emily Skahan.

Tickets range in price from $15-$20 and can be purchased by calling (514) 845-9810 or visiting www.geordie.ca.
