Thick in Dickens
Among those featured actors is Brian Walker as Bob Cratchit, Evan Needham as Scrooge’s nephew, Bob Service as Marley’s Ghost, Wanda Stapp as Mrs. Crachit, and Savannah McCauley, Deborah Salizzoni and Jennifer Trustem as the other ghosts. Ben Rowe, David Moore and Pam Service round out the cast, which does a lot of doubling that’s sometimes confusing. Katie Pratt designed the lighting, Marcia Hutson the costumes, Cindy Brown the sound. A Christmas Carol is on stage weekends at NCRT until December 12.
Coming Up: Ferndale Rep’s run of Oliver! begins this Friday (Nov. 27) and ends December 20. In between, Ferndale hosts holiday children’s matinees of Rumpelstiltskin the first two weekends of December. Dell’Arte’s annual Christmas show also opens Friday, at the Carlo Theatre, and begins its traditional local tour the following Monday, Nov. 30, at HSU’s Van Duzer Theatre, and Tuesday, Dec. 1, at the Arkley Center in Eureka. Since it’s A Commedia Christmas Carol, we’ll be back writing like the Dickens next week.
