A Christmas Carol

Begin your holiday season with Shakespearean Main Street's better as they present this timeless holiday classic in intimate Readers Theatre style in Bennington.

In A Christmas Carol, Dickens explores the morality of the love of money over
the love of family and people. Scrooge sees the way his life has slipped into a
basically unhappy and lonely old age where he has lost the possibility of love and friendship. This holiday master work is a story of compassion,forgiveness and
redemption.

Director Gary Meitrott adapts Readers Theater to include costuming and
movement by the actors, adding a dramatic element to the performance. With simple, yet elegant, Victorian furniture and costuming,five actors bring all of the characters to life using Dickens' original words.

Meitrott, a lover of classic literature and founder of SoMS, says,"Even though we are all connected electronically, we are also isolated as individuals. A Christmas Carol rings truer than ever in its lesson to give and to love with every moment we have."

The cast features Martin Bones, Jonathan White, Meg Wood, Lawrence Zupan
and Zachary Zupan.
