'A Christmas Carol' to be Presented at Pitt-Bradford December 7
A Broadway-style musical adaption of Charles Dickens’ popular “A Christmas Carol” will be staged on Monday, Dec. 7, at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
The Nebraska Theatre Caravan will present the musical production at 7:30 p.m. in the Bromeley Family Theater of Blaisdell Hall. A part of the Prism series, admission is $34 and $28 for the public and $15 and $12 for all students.
Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future, Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and other characters are the focus of the 19th-century story set in London, England. Twenty-three singer-actors will dress in more than a hundred Victorian–period costumes and sing Christmas carols, including “God Rest Ye’ Merry Gentlemen,” “Wassail, Wassail,” “Good King Wenceslas,” “Greensleeves,” and “Away in a Manager.”
“Having a touring production of this caliber perform here at Pitt-Bradford is definitely a strong addition to our cultural scene,” said Randy Mayes, director of arts programming at Pitt-Bradford. “I hope we can expand in the future with other large-scale Christmas productions like the Nutcracker as well.
The musical version of Dickens’ 1843 novel has been performed by the Nebraska Theatre Caravan for more than three decades in more than 60 cities.
Area schoolchildren will also have a chance to watch “A Christmas Carol” at 9:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 7, in the Bromeley Family Theater, as part of the Kaleidoscope school matinee series, formerly called New Horizons.
A shuttle will take patrons from the Commons to the theater before curtain time.
