Congratulations to the wonderful cast, crew, and creative team of A CHARLES DICKENS' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. What a delightful and magical production to close out our 2024 BE BOLD / BE HERE Season. Wishing you all the best. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Long-time company members Tina and Andy have frequently shared the stage, but we don't think they've actually shared the same ROLE before! Depending on where you are in the country, you can catch EITHER or BOTH of them as Mrs. Fezziwig in A CHRISTMAS CAROL now through December 29-- Tina in Alabama and Andy here in Jersey. Two more delightful and charming Mrs. Fs we couldn't imagine! Support your local Shakespeare companies this holiday season and have a great time at the theatre to boot. @tinastaffordyes @alabamashakespeare @shakespeare_nj @andyjpat @chrismixon5 @jmbend123
