Atlanta Theatre Buzz Review: A+ "...He makes the entire presentation a spellbinding delight." - theatre critic Brad Rudy
Anthony Rodriguez is back for a third year with his mesmerizing solo performance of the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Not unlike what Charles Dickens himself did in the 1800’s, Mr. Rodriguez focuses on the classic art of storytelling, using his voice and mannerisms to bring to life Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Jacob Marley and the remarkable ghosts found in the greatest Christmas story of all time.
The exhilarating one-man Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol returns for a limited 3 week engagement this December 4 - 20. Nestled in the intimate 80-seat Gwinnett Federal Credit Union Studio, the theatre is transformed to make you feel as though Mr. Dickens has personally invited you into his parlor. Although a few amazing theatrical effects have been added, this rendition captures the true spirit of Christmas - the joy of giving. The story is adapted for the stage and directed by Tony Brown. Audiences will remember Mr. Brown from his memorable turns on the Aurora Theatre Stage (Merlin in Camelot, Colonel Mustard in Clue: The Musical).
“When we were planning the season, I was not sure about taking on this bear of a show again,” explains Aurora Theatre Producing Artistic Director Anthony Rodriguez. “As we head into the holiday season, more and more people have been asking if I was bringing it back. Their excitement has certainly served as great inspiration; I just hope I can still remember all the lines.”
