A stage version of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is once again being performed to perfection by the Kansas City Repertory Theatre at the University of Missouri at Kansas City's Spencer Theatre. This year marks the 43rd time that the KC Rep has put on this fine production. The Roeland Park Macy's and Pa Rock have been attending since Olive was four - and she is thirteen now!
Each year I leave the theatre proclaiming that the current production is the best ever, and yesterday, as we left a matinee performance, I was back to beating that same drum. There are a few changes made to the production every year - and the result is that it not only stays fresh, but also keeps getting better and better!
If you are in the Kansas City area and looking for some great holiday entertainment, look no further than Ebenezer Scrooge and gang at the Spencer Theatre on the campus of UMKC. Performances run through Saturday, December 28th. The show is so good that you may choose to return year after year - like Olive and Sully and the other Macys - the old ones!
It's a grand tradition with strolling carolers, chained and unchained ghosts, fog, snow, and glimpses inside the shops, and homes, and hearts of the denizens of Victorian England as recounted by one of the world's most beloved storytellers.
Don't miss this show. You'll leave singing!
