The Grand Opera House presents a Fresh Retelling of a Holiday Classic
The G
rand Opera House is excited to present Patrick Barlow’s thrilling adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Performances begin November 24th, running Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm through December 3rd.
Barlow’s adaptation uses only five actors to bring some of Dickens’ most beloved characters to life. From Scrooge and Tiny Tim to Bob Cratchit and Mr. Fezziwig, Barlow’s A Christmas Carol uses nothing more than some simple props, fresh physicality, and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption.
In this morality tale, Scrooge (Shawn Steinhoff) is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley (Stuart Hoover) and the spirits of Christmas Past (Ann Cameron Williams), Present (Lydia Sigwarth), and Yet to Come (Zac Winkler). Witness Ebenezer Scrooge’s transformation from a stingy miser to a man who generously celebrates the spirit of the season all year long, in this highly theatrical adaptation.
A Christmas Carol is directed by Nick Halder. The cast features 5 local performers playing various roles throughout the production.
Tickets for A Christmas Carol are $25 for adults and $17 for children under 18 and can be purchased in person at the Box Office located at 135 W. 8th Street in Dubuque, or by calling (563) 588-1305.
