This adaptation by Patrick Barlow is a newer
interpretation of the traditional ghost story. It follows its main character, Ebenezer
Scrooge, through his journey to find the meaning of Christmas all the while
being led by three different ghosts: The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of
Christmas Present, and The Ghost of Christmas Future. With humor, and wit, this
adaptation is sure to keep true to the original story all the while bringing a fresh
wave of energy to the show.
The production is directed by TJ Scannell and includes a
cast of 29 local performers. They have been rehearsing for this event for two
months. They range in age from 7 to 70. Sometimes heart wrenching, sometimes scary, but lots of humor will keep
audiences entertained to the final curtain.
Performances of “A
Christmas Carol” will be held on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m.
and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults and $14 for
students and seniors. Schoolhouse Arts Center is located at 16
Richville Road (Route 114) in Standish, just north of the intersection of Route
114 and Route 35, only 7 miles northwest of Gorham center or North Windham.
