Perseverance Theatre's lively stage adaptation of the beloved Dickens' classic is only at the PAC. It features live music, singing, and dancing along with gorgeous sets and costumes. And of course, ghosts! A Christmas Carol, adapted from Charles Dickens' original text by Arlitia Jones and Michael Evan Haney, brings magic, music, and transformation when Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Anchorage's Kevin T. Bennett, is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. Dickens reminds us that it's never to late to change. Alaska Dispatch News says Perseverance Theatre's A Christmas Carol has "A gorgeous set, ambitious sound effects, and excellent acting."  

Perseverance Theatre's classic tale of Christmas and starting over returns this season to Anchorage. (PT) Adapted from Charles Dickens' original by Arlitia Jones and Michael Evan Haney, A Christmas Carol is the most produced play in the country and concerns one Ebenezer Scrooge. He is a greedy and stingy businessman, with no place in his life for kindness, compassion, charity or benevolence. When Scrooge is visited by four ghosts, including his former business partner, Jacob Marley, he is warned to change his ways or face a miserable afterlife. Share Scrooge's miraculous transformation with the whole family and experience the remembrance of the true meaning of Christmas. It's never too late to change is Charles Dickens' message of hope and empowerment that reminds us of the meaning of the holidays we celebrate each year.

The return of 'PERFECT HARMONY,' a hit of the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival and a 2008 sold-out summer run on Theatre Row is now back on track after a dispute between the theatre manager at 45 Bleecker Theatres (the show's recent home) and the space's landlord resulted in a closing of that complex on October 13. Theatre Row General Manager Erika Feldman came to the show's rescue and offered the production a new home - The Acorn Theatre, 410 West 42nd Street (between 9th and 10th Avenues) in the Theatre Row complex. 'PERFECT HARMONY' is conceived and directed by Andrew Grosso, and written by Grosso and The Essentials. Performances resume at The Acorn on Thursday, October 21 and the official opening performance is set for Wednesday, October 27 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets for the Off Broadway run are available through Telecharge at 212-239-6200 or www.telecharge.com, and on sale through November 13, 2010. (The producers are planning to move the show to another space following this run at The Acorn.)

'PERFECT HARMONY' (www.perfectharmonyrocks.com) is a comedy about the greatest singing group in high school history, seventeen-time national champions, The Acafellas. It's also about their classmates and female counterpart, perennial runners up, The Ladies in Red. Through song and story, we see these students grapple with the weighty issues of truth, love, what constitutes appropriate choreography for Nationals - and ultimately we learn not just about these students but also about the true nature of harmony.
