Event Details
December 2-4, December 8-11, December 15-18; 8pm Thur-Sat, 2pm Sun
Silicon Valley Shakespeare's inaugural production of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL, by the late Richard Orlando (Northside Theatre Company Founder and Artistic Director), will take audience members back in time with Ebenezer Scrooge as he literally walks down memory lane.
"Richard Orlando's adaptation doesn't shy away from the fact that A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a ghost story set in a world of darkness, which illuminates the journey of Ebenezer finding redemption in a meaningful way," said SVS Artistic Director and A CHRISTMAS CAROL Co-director Angie Higgins. "His telling truly embodies SVS' mission to innovate the classics. We are honored to continue his legacy and, in the spirit that he crafted the adaptation, find new ways to explore this classic that will truly draw audiences into the world of Ebenezer Scrooge."
Dickens wrote his lauded story in 1843 as a way of condemning the rampant poverty of the Victorian age. And with the plight of the houseless increasing--especially in our Bay Area backyard--SVS' staging of this classic uniquely aligns with our ongoing mission to illuminate and inspire audiences in an innovative way.
Set against the expansive backdrop of History Park San Jose's 14 acres of preserved and reproduced homes from a long-gone era, this immersive and walking production is a unique holiday experience for the entire family. The show is estimated to traverse a distance of approximately 1,000 steps; a seated performance for those with mobility concerns will take place on Sunday, December 11th.
Audience members are encouraged to dress in their Dickens-inspired ensembles and to be prepared to encounter A CHRISTMAS CAROL unlike any they have ever seen before. Patrons are also encouraged to participate in a toy drive supporting Family Giving Tree; more information is available on SVS' website.
Capacity is limited to 65 theatregoers per performance!
$30-$60.
Presented by Silicon Valley Shakespeare.
