Surprisingly enough, all the shows this month seem to have a holiday flavor (with one exception). Here's the list - as always, gentle readers, let me know if I've missed one:
- A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley - Presented by Ashland Community and Technical College at 1400 College Drive in Ashland, Ky. Performances are Thursday - Sunday, Dec. 3 - 6. The co-directors are Sam Butler and Brian Cook. Musical director: Max Jackson.
- MARY - Presented by the Contemporary Youth Arts Company. This is the 13th annual production of the Mark Scarpelli-Dan Kehde musical. It takes the stage Dec. 3, 4 and 5 at 8 p.m. at the WVSU Capitol Center Theater, 123 Summer Street, Charleston. It tells the story of the nine months prior to the birth of Jesus Christ, as seen through the eyes of a young girl destined to be the most important woman in the Christian tradition. The show has become a family-friendly holiday tradition throughout the greater Charleston area.
- Miracle on 34th Street - Presented by the Kanawha Players at the Civic Center Little Theatre Dec. 3-5 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. When a white-bearded gentleman claims to be the real Santa Claus he brings about a genuine miracle, spreading a wave of love throughout New York City, convincing a divorced, cynical single mother, her somber daughter, and the entire state of New York that Santa Claus is no myth.
- A Christmas Carol - Presented by the Marshall Theatre Alliance, the Christmas classic will take the stage Dec. 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. at the Playhouse at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.
- Underneath the Lintel - Presented by the Charleston Stage Company at the Capitol Center Theatre, 123 Summers Street in Charleston, Thursday-Saturday, December 10, 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. Written by Glen Berger, it tells the story of a reclusive Dutch librarian, whose mundane little life is transformed when a book is returned in the overnight slot 123 years overdue. Notes scribbled in the margins of the book lead to clue after clue that compel the librarian on a world wide quest for the mysterious borrower... and the meaning of life. Don't miss this memorable one-man show. Joe Miller plays the librarian. Geoff Coward directs.
- Ebenezer Junior - Presented by the Children's Theatre of Charleston at the Charleston Civic Center Little Theatre Dec. 11 and 12 at 7:00 p.m. and Dec. 12 and 13 at 2:00 p.m. The beloved classic of the miserly Scrooge who hates anything having to do with Christmas, comes alive with catchy new songs. The score features a wealth of musical styles including Rock ‘n Roll, Blues, Rap and Ballads. Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Fred, the Ghosts and, of course, Tiny Tim all interweave with a large cast and choir in this version by Malcolm Sircom.
