Reno, NV. Brüka Theatre presents A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens and is adapted and directed for three actors by Michael Grimm. Brüka’s second show of the 29th season - Onward is a story of redemption and of the power of the Christmas spirit that has become an unrivaled holiday tradition in the English-speaking world. The revival of Brüka Theatre’s original adaptation of Dickens' masterpiece casts three actors, Mary Bennett, Michael Grimm and Ryan Kelly to portray more than 20 characters on a minimalist set, with an original soundtrack by Gary Kephart. This production gives the audience the unique opportunity to experience the story with the much neglected narration of Dickens as it’s centerpiece. Much like the original storytelling that Dickens used to perform, this production is a hybrid of a staged reading and a performance piece. A theatrical experience that is equivalent to cracking open an ancient tome and telling Christmas stories by the light of a yule log. It's sure to give you and your family a healthy dose of the “Christmas Spirit”.
This Christmas Carol revival comes back after 10 years and plays for 10 total performances December 10, 11, 15(A), 16, 17, 18 at 7:30 PM with Matinees on December 12th & 18th at 2 PM. Enjoy a post show opening night champagne reception and a special opening night Carolling experience. The shows run Thursdays through Saturdays with evening shows at 7:30 pm with one Wednesday Artist Night ($17 Tickets) during the run. The Sunday matinee on December 12 is followed by a talkback with the company and audience. The doors open a half an hour before curtain time.
