EBENEZER SCROOGE’S BIG AURORA FOX CHRISTMAS SHOW!

AURORA FOX ARTS CENTER: NOV. 30 – DEC. 22

 

 

Written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen, this holiday treat is based upon Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”

     It’s an all-woman cast led by Denver favorite Karen Slack in the role of the miserly curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge. Slack’s gravel-voiced old coot anchors the show.

     The production is blessed with the comic talents of such Denver favorites as LuAnn Buckstein, Sonsharae Tull, Min Kyung (Cecelia) Kim (Cratchit) and Janae Burris (Christmas Yet to Come). 

     Buckstein is hysterical as The Ghost of Christmas Past! Her comic genius comes through in moments such as one of her character’s klutzily attempting to maneuver a straw into her mouth while drinking an adult beverage at a holiday party. Tull delights as the exuberant Ghost of Christmas Present.

     There is fine work in the technical aspects of this show as well. A great rustic scenic design is provided by Denver favorite Brandon Philip Case. Lighting and sound designs work well in tandem by Brett Maughan and Casey Burnham respectively. The costumes by Linda Morken, are of this artist’s usual eye-popping artistry.
