“A Christmas Carol” coming to St. Francisville – in more ways than one!

In classic Transitory style, the St. Francisville Transitory Theatre will rip Charles Dickens’ tale straight from the canon of Christmas literature and drop it in the middle of present-day St. Francisville. Director Adam Tidwell has created an all new, here and now, hilarious adaptation of “A Christmas Carol.”

Ellen Ezra Scrooge gets ready to head home after a long day of abusing poor Eddie Cratchit at the local bank, only to discover that her house is on the Christmas in the Country “Peep into our Holiday Homes” tour. Appalled at the idea of strangers peeping into her house, Scrooge ‘negotiates’ a room for the night at The Myrtles Plantation. Knowing the house’s reputation for ghosts, it’s no surprise when she is visited by four spirits. It may be a surprise that three of them are a rock star, a film noir detective and a little girl. It’s up to Scrooge to find her heart and save Tiny Tina from Swine Flu. All that and no Jim Carey! What could be better?

Directed by Adam Tidwell and James Lanius. Sets and Lights by James Lanius. Costumes by Lucy Morrison.
