Come one, come all.  Theatre in the library parking lot!  The Virginia Theatre Machine will return for a performance of A Christmas Carol.  Join us for an outdoor retelling of this holiday classic.  Come early for refreshments on the patio. Bring chairs and/or blankets.  Take your place in front of the portable stage and prepare to be wowed!

A 30 minute performance extravaganza as two budding thespians attempt the grueling and stage defying act of recreating Dickens’s classic tale of redemption. The thespians will transform themselves into multiple characters of all ages, gender and spectral variety. The thespians will put themselves in psychological harms way as they expose their inner souls to the full range of emotions needed to transport their audience from laughter to pity to shock to love to despair to hope. They will conclude with a full catharsis of all the emotions ever recorded.* The thespians will perform this feat of theatrical wizardry on the stage of the Virginia Theatre Machine. Audiences will be able to gather around this outdoor stage to share in this intimate marvel of stagecraft with full production values: Lights, Sound, Sets, Props, Puppets, Costumes, & Special-Effects.

*Free tissues are always provided in any performance by the two thespians.
