"The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild
Dramatic Society's Production of A Christmas Carol"
(yes, that's the title)

by WALTER ZERLIN JR
with David McGillivray

Nov. 30. Dec. 1, 6, 7, 8; 13,14,15

 

In a festive mood, the ladies mount another assault on the classics with their stage version of A Christmas Carol. They enthusiastically portray a dizzy array of characters from the Dickensian favorite (and a few which aren't), engineer some novel audience participation while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system, and a real Farndale first: wrap their vocal cords and feet around two original, show stopping songs.

Skillfully directed by Judy Braddy
