Interview with Fr. Michael Klarer, Play Adapter

Q: How do you think the play is going?

A: I am excited about the dedication of the actors. I am hearing the voices I imagined when I wrote the script. Some of the characters even have their lines memorized!


Q: What is most inspiring to you about Dickens's story?

A: He helps Christmas become for us something mysterious and wonderful, and a celebration where people open their hearts to the needs of others.


Q: Are you excited for the opening of the show?

A: Yes, but it is, fortunately, a long way off. We still have a lot of work to do.

Third Readthrough

At the third read through on Thursday, everything sounded wonderful. At just the third rehearsal, even the accents are coming along. The Narrator and Scrooge are doing well, as well as character development. There's also lots of energy floating around in there. Maybe if they can figure out how to redirect it...

Interviews with cast member start this Sunday, and as far as the play goes, everything is so far so good!

First Rehearsal!

Yesterday was the first read-through, or the first time the whole cast (minus a few people) got together. Everyone seemed a little confused at first, but they were all smiling and talking and laughing with one another. The directors gave the rundown, and the cast members introduced themselves.

Hopefully, the show is going to pull together spectacularly!
