The Actors Theater of Orcas Island brings The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of A Christmas Carol by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin, Jr., to The Grange in December.
The cast of four women (Annette Mazzarella, Lesley Liddle, Luann Pamatian, and Suzanne Gropper) and one man (Tony Lee) provides a zany, madcap way to start off the holiday season.
In a festive mood, the ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society mount an assault on the classic Christmas show with their stage version of “A Christmas Carol.” They enthusiastically portray a dizzying array of characters from the Dickensian favorite (and a few which aren’t) and engineer some novel audience participation, all while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system.
“This is a raucously funny play that is great family fun. The kids will love it and adults will appreciate the great comedy,” say organizers.
The play is directed by Doug Bechtel and will be at The Grange Dec. 2-Dec. 18, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Dec. 4. Tickets are available at Darvills, www.orcasactors.com, and at the door. For more information, call 317-5601.
