A year ago this month Tim and Erin and I took little Olive, who had just turned five, to see her first live theatre production. We attended the Kansas City Repertory Theatre's 36th annual production of "A Christmas Carol." Somehow we had managed to get front row seats, and Olive sat mesmerized throughout the entire performance.
Last night we again went to see "A Christmas Carol" at the KC Rep, and again Olive appeared to be enraptured by what was occurring on stage. The play, which undergoes changes each year, was a delightful conglomeration of the Charles Dickens' famous story told among Victorian carolers who were strolling the stage and singing holiday music as the tale unfolded.
2017 is the 150th anniversary of Dickens' second trip to America, one in which he did public readings from "A Christmas Carol" both for his own financial benefit as well as to meet the needs of several charities. This year's KC Rep presentation featured the character of Charles Dickens narrating portions of the play, much as he did with the text of his book a century-and-a-half ago.
This time Patti was a member of our happy group, and again we managed to score front row seats.
It would seem we are on the verge of starting a holiday tradition!
God bless us - and you - everyone!
