Schenectady Daily Gazette
To quote: "...great artistry....with large puppets, fog, stunning period costumes (with Joe Fava's help), and the singing of, and dancing to, old English songs. It's a lovely production." Paul Lamar details many "first-rate features" and "standouts". My mother and I thought the staging worked very well and flowed seamlessly. My daughter loved the last puppet, the scariest ghost of "Yet to Come" and the audience responded with cheers. In San Francisco, American Conservatory Theater's annual staging of A Christmas Carol as a must-see holiday tradition. My mother, Mardy Moore, suggested that we in Schenectady should keep this play for our yearly treat.
Performances continue this week from Wednesday to Sunday, when the curtain closes on the final bow. Tickets are going fast.
