‘A Christmas Carol’ to be performed Dec. 18 at Stephens Center
December 2, 2008
A celebrated version of Charles Dickens鈥 鈥淎 Christmas Carol鈥 is coming to the 色花堂app L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
The show is part of ISU鈥檚 鈥淎 Season of Note鈥 fine arts series.
This show, adapted for the stage by Charles Jones of the Omaha Community
Playhouse, will join the holiday celebration in Pocatello when it is presented at the Stephens Center鈥檚 Joseph C. and Cheryl H. Jensen Grand Concert Hall.
Twenty-eight performers bring Dickens鈥 fable of redemption to life on a magical set created by noted designer James Othuse. A full array of traditional Christmas carols is woven into the classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge. Each carol was chosen for the dramatic atmosphere it contributes to the total evening. The songs themselves are traditional, but musical arrangements courtesy of John Bennett are contemporary.
鈥淎 Christmas Carol鈥 remains one of the most powerful and vivid illustrations of the necessity of good will in human conduct. Dickens believed that the ills of a greedy world could be healed by brotherhood and unselfishness. The Nebraska TheatreCaravan brings that principle to life.
Tickets for 鈥淎 Christmas Carol鈥 are $32 for main level and $28 for upper level and can be purchased at the Stephens Performing Arts Center Box Office or online at www.isu.edu/tickets.
For more information or tickets, contact the Stephens Performing Arts Center Box Office at 282-3595.
鈥楾is the season!
