Theatre Reviews On Wednesday, December 4th I saw an original play called “A Christmas Carol” by: Charles Dickens. The play was presented by the Reagan theater program at the Reagan auditorium. This joyful and upbeat play was about a ungrateful man the resented giving. When visited by his old co-worker ‘Jacob Marley’ telling his that he will be visited by three ghost. The Christmas past, present, and lastly the ghost of Christmas future. After undergoing the ghosts work Ebenezer Scrooge became a changed man that love the time of Christmas year. During the show, I very much enjoyed the performance of Roddy Hemmick. He played as the one and only Ebenezer Scrooge. He had a sense of life in himself throughout the entire performance. He sold himself as old (not a young prime high school student). His best part would be when Jacob Marley would rumble his house and the way he went running was priceless. Also, I give the department props when he went to dance to the song without any one hitting him while he leaped in the middle of the dancing group. I also would like to discuss the performance of Chase Bradshaw who played Jacob Marley. He was sensational he played like a dead man beautifully. When we would walk with the chains on his back and sold the weight of his sins, I loved it. At the end of the play when scrooge was appearing as if he was going to fire his employ when being late to work then he gave him a raise, well as scrooge progressed Marley look more and more disappointed the jumped with glee and the man got a raise.
I enjoyed this production because it was based on the well-known Christmas carol. This made it more pleasant to watch and was very interesting. The acting in this play was exceptional! That held my interest and kept me involved in the play to the end. In conclusion, this was a very entertaining and all around great play!
