Santa Rosa Junior College Theatre Arts will present a musical version of Charles Dickens’ classic story, “A Christmas Carol,” from Friday, Nov. 17, through Sunday, Dec. 3, at the Burbank Auditorium Main Theatre.
Directed by James Newman, “A Christmas Carol” is a musical adaptation of the beloved tale with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The show features music direction by Nate Riebli, choreography by Tamara Grose and vocal direction by Mark Kratz and Nate Riebli.
Newman said he has always wanted to produce “A Christmas Carol,” and that the fact that this version is a musical sets it apart from other tellings of the story.
“‘A Christmas Carol’ is both spooky and celebratory,” Newman said. “You get multiple ghosts, all telling the story of how one man can be redeemed.”
“A Christmas Carol” will run at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 17-18, 24, 25, 29-30 and Dec. 1-2, with 2 p.m. matinee showings on Nov. 19, 25-26 and Dec. 2-3. According to Newman, the runtime of the show is approximately two hours with intermission.
