If you have yet to find yourself in the holiday spirit, Alleyway has the cure for the holiday blues. Back for its 26th season is Charles’ Dickens A Christmas Carol.
Renowned British actor John Smeathers returns to Buffalo to portray Ebenezer Scrooge. Alleyway boasts that this is one of the longest running annual productions in the country and has touched people’s hearts for decades during the holiday season, playing to over 100,000 people since its premiere at Alleyway. Directed and adapted by Neal Radice. Even in troubled times, Neal Radice is certain that this show will remind us of the importance of family, friends and show us what the true meaning of Christmas is. “I am more convinced than ever that audiences want of A Christmas Carol on stage, the same thing they want of the carols we sing: to be unchanging, timeless, as familiar as the memory of a favorite Christmas morning past.”
A Christmas Carol is about family and it is important to the cast and crew that this is affordable and exciting for families, something you can bring your children or grandchildren to. The message is the same as it was back then and something we should all remember.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL will feature John Smeather, Alleyway alum Joyce Stilson (last seen in the Pulitzer prize winning play Rabbit Hole) and Neal Radice. The show runs December 11-21, Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 PM, Saturdays at 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Sundays at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $30/general admission; $20/students/children Limited School-time tours are still available. More information can be found at www.Alleyway.com
