Ensemble Theatre Company, in conjunction with North Carolina Stage Company, is proud to present Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol! The show is playing exclusively at NC Stage in downtown Asheville, from December 17th- December 28th.
Under the
direction of Andrew Hampton Livingston and starring Michael MacCauley, this one
man, tour-de-force performance is not to be missed.
“Scrooge? I
have to redeem old Scrooge? The one man I knew who was worse than I was?
Impossible!" So begins the journey of Jacob Marley's heroic
behind-the-scenes efforts to save old Scrooge's soul—and in the process, save
his own. Aided by Bogle, a mischievous little sprite with an agenda of his own,
their hilarious journey takes them from the depths of the underworld to the
stars above! This irreverent, funny, and ultimately, deeply moving story
retells Dickens' classic with warmth and infectious zest. This thrilling performance
is sure to become a holiday classic for generations to come, and has been
performed to rave reviews and standing ovations in theatres across the country!
During the
entire run of the show, the Children First holiday drive will be in the
lobby. NC Stage is partnering with Children First to collect items for
“Bedtime in a Bag” which include toiletry items, pajamas, and children’s
stories! December 27th, 2013 is a special holiday
benefit day with a portion of ticket sales from the 2:00 PM Matinee being
donated to benefit Children First.
Here is what
the critics had to say about this remarkable show:
“The verbal and
physical virtuosity of MacCauley’s embodiment of Mula’s play is masterful,
interpreting the voices of 16 varied characters with almost gymnastic physical
power”. Asheville Citizen-Times.
“MacCauley,
giving us Marley and Scrooge in dialogue, and more than a dozen other voices –
male, female, animal – offers a tour-de-force bravado performance.”
