the ultimate scary ghost story! Charles Dickens' beloved
classic is told in a fresh way by the Schenectady Civic
Players on December 5, 6 & 10-13 at 8 PM and matinees on
Sundays, December 7 & 14 at 2:30 PM. With carolers singing
period songs, over-sized puppets representing ghosts and
plenty of chains rattling and special effects sounding, it's

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR>The
story is the nightmare of a mean old man, visited by spirits
and spooked into rediscovering what life's about. Set in
Victorian London, where the privileged, in their fancy
parlors, prosper while the poor struggle to survive. A
Christmas Carol speaks to all ages as it tells the tale of the
cynical Ebenezer Scrooge. With a heart hardened by a tragic
childhood and lost love, Scrooge would rather Christmas never
came around to disrupt his money-grubbing ways... until he
gets a series of wake- up calls from the spirits of Christmas
Past, Present, and Future. SCP's original production captures
A Christmas Carol's enduring message of hope and redemption
with evocative songs, sprightly dances, spectacular sets and
magical stage effects.<BR></SPAN><IMG height=342 alt=chains

Cast</B><BR><BR>Produced by Duncan Morrison, A Christmas Carol
is adapted and directed by Lloyd Waiwaiole. Melissa
Brown is the assistant director. Musical direction is provided
by Valerie A. Lord. The acting ensemble play multiple roles,
sing, dance, play instruments and manipulate over-sized
puppets. The cast includes: Sev Moro, Jonathan Savoy, Richard
Roe, Tom Heckert, Byron Cortez, Claudia DeMartino, Eliza Jane
Figueroa (and her mother Jane Figueroa), Sue Rucinski,
Stephanie Insogna, Evan Russell, Alex Allwine, Will
Whisenhurst, and features John Noble (recently of Cohoes Music

<BR><B><BR>The Director</B><BR><BR>Lloyd Waiwaiole, costumer
of the theater and dance department at Union College, created
and directs this original play. His vision for this play
includes his original puppet designs and Dickens' written
words spoken by the cast. The play is true to the original
spirit of the book but done in Lloyd's presentational story
telling style. He says of the production, "This extremely
talented cast is getting the job done beautifully with no
backstage drama, in a nice community theater that's good for
audiences and performers." <BR><BR><B>The
music</B><BR><BR>Musical director Val Lord researched group
choral songs popular in Victorian England and selected twenty
little-known and seldom heard carols which are performed as
part pf the play, in the spirit of strolling Victorian
carolers of the season. Dickens wrote the book in the form of
a carol and the producers added music as a tribute to
Dickens.<BR><BR><B>Schenectady Holiday Parade - November 22 at
