PUTNAM — The Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut at the Bradley Playhouse will present the best loved Christmas stage tradition, “A Christmas Carol.” The presentation begins Dec. 2, and runs for three weekends.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17 and at 2 p.m. Dec. 4, 11 and 18. Tickets are $190 for adults and $15 for seniors and students.
All seats are reserved. Reservations may be made with a major credit card online at www.thebradleyplayhouse.org or by calling 860-928-7887. Tickets may be purchased at the theater box office, either before the performance or at the door. As always, purchasing your tickets ahead of time is recommended, especially since A Christmas Carol is always very popular.
TNECT’s A Christmas Carol is directed by Kathleen Atwood and Scott Guerin. Real Carpentier reprises his role as Scrooge, as does Walter Wright as The Spirit of Christmas Present. Sarah Oschmann appears as Christmas Past, Maya Summiel is Christmas Yet to Come and Roy Simmons plays The Ghost of Jacob Marley as well as a Narrator. The other Narrators are Ariel Lewis and Bonnie Therriault. Bob Cratchit is played by Mark Scribner, Mrs. Cratchit is Diana Daugherty and Remy Jacquet appears as Tiny Tim.
In keeping with the holiday spirit of sharing joy, the Bradley will once again have a mitten tree where people can hang mittens, hats and other accessories to make the season warmer for those less fortunate.
The Bradley Playhouse is at 30 Front St.
The Bradley provides a new view of this traditional story, infusing the Dickens’ classic with a Steampunk twist, bringing a new look to the play, while keeping with the original story and message of Christmas. Steampunk is an alternate history in which the Industrial Revolution either never happened, or happened very differently. There is no internal combustion engine or electricity. Instead, in this futuristic past that never materialized, clockwork gears and steam power have continued in standard usage.
It is the world of Jules Verne’s Nautilus submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and H.G. Wells’s time travel machine in The Time Machine.
All your favorite characters are present – it’s the traditional Christmas Carol with Steampunk elements in the set and costumes. The audience is invited to join in the spirit and come to the theatre in their own steampunk creations.
