On November 30th director Bonnie Hill will be opening a new show at the Garfield Center for the Arts; Ken Ludwig’s reimagining of a holiday classic, Tiny Tim’s Christmas Carol. A veteran actress and director on local stages, Hill has directed the recent Garfield productions of Vanya, Sonia, Masha & Spike, A Delicate Balance and Sylvia.
In this version of Dickens’ classic, Tiny Tim hatches a plan to get his father home for Christmas day. With the help of some kindly sellers at the market and his friend Charlotte, Tiny Tim stages a spectacle filled with ghosts and Christmas cheer to convince Scrooge to give his father the day off. It all seems to be going according to plan until a little bit of real Christmas magic catches everyone by surprise.
The cast is as follows:
Tiny Tim – John Crook
Charlotte – Raven Miller
Scrooge – Jim Landskroener
Puppet Seller – Jane Jewell
Pie Seller – David Ryan
Book Seller – Bryan Zajchowski
Gravedigger, Fred, Stevens – Robbie Spray
Hollyfoot – Steve Atkinson
Young Girl – Alden Swanson
Boy – Caleb Ford
Carolers – Kathy Jones, Cornelia Fallon, Michelle Genovese
The show runs for two weekends, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm, November 30 – December 9.
