On Broadway stages own version of 'Christmas Carol'
Friday, December 7, 2007 11:42 AM PST
“Bah Humbug!”, a retelling of the classic Dickens story “A Christmas Carol” by the On Broadway Thespians, will run through Dec. 16 at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Coos Bay.
Friday and Saturday performances will be at 8 p.m. on Sunday matinees will be at 2 p.m. A special one-time early afternoon performance is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Dec. 9.
Set in the 1700s, this is the story of the Cratchit family, whose love and optimism transcends any misery that life can throw at them. It also is the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge, and his journey from an embittered miser into a giving, caring soul at the hands of three spirits, who, one Christmas Eve, take it upon themselves to show everyone what life is truly all about, a press release said.
Tickets for the gala cost $15 for adults and $12 for children age 12 and under. Regular ticket cost $10 for adults for Friday and Saturday evening performances, $8 for Sunday matinees and $7 for children age 12 and under.
Tickets will be available at the door, with reservations handled through an online vendor, Ticket Alternative, via phone at (877) 725-8849 or through their green button link on the On Broadway Thespians Web site, http://www.onbroadwaytheater.com. |
