Peter Bradbury and Mark Light-Orr Lead A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Beg. Tonight at Theatre at St. Clement's

The cast of A Christmas Carol features Peter Bradbury (Cyrano De Bergerac, Picnic) as Scrooge with Mark Light-Orr (Counselor At Law), Jessie Shelton (Peter/Wendy), Franca Vercelloni (Much Ado About Nothing), and Mark Price (Mary Poppins) playing all of the other roles.

From the writer of the Tony Award winning hit, The 39 Steps, comes this spirited new adaptation of the beloved Dickens' classic. Five gifted actors bring to life all of our favorite characters, from Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mrs. Fezziwig. Using nothing more than some simple props, fresh physicality and the power of imagination, this timeless story of redemption shows how Ebenezer Scrooge transforms from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long.

Directed by Joe Calarco (adaptor/director of Shakespeare's R & J), A Christmas Carol has set design by Brian Prather, lighting design by Chris Lee, costume design by Anne Kennedy and sound design by Victoria DeIorio.

A Christmas Carol begins previews at the Theatre at St. Clement's (423 W. 46th Street) tonight, November 16th, with opening night on Monday, November 25th. Tickets, priced at $75, are available at www.Telecharge.com or by calling 212-239-6200. Premium seating is available.
