Main Street Stage’s holiday production08:56AM / Thursday, November 20, 2008
NORTH ADAMS, Mass - On Dec 12, 13, 19 and 20, Main Street Stage’s holiday production, The Red (and Green) Room, will showcase original work by local writers, actors, and dancers at 57 Main Street, North Adams. The Red (and Green) Room will be broken into two acts: a variety show and an original one act adaptation of A Christmas Carol titled “A Critic's Carol”.
Light refreshments will be served at intermission and good holiday feelings and humor will be available throughout the show. Doors open at 7:30 for life drawing and the show starts at 8. Tickets are $10.
The show will feature reflections by local writers, including Gail Burns, Seth Brown and Johnnie Carrier; a Christmas-themed dance, choreographed by Sarah Rae Brown; skits written and performed by Main Street Stage company members, including “A Caroler’s Lament” and “Dickens’ American Idol.” The original one act, written by company member Kelli Newby and directed by Wendy Walraven, wonders what would happen if a small theatre company cast the local critic as Scrooge in their production of A Christmas Carol. The show follows the story of the Dickens classic and all resemblances to local critics are entirely coincidental.
The Red (and Green) Room is a full-length version of the Mains Street Stage’s popular cabaret series, the Redroom, which was rated at 5 out of 5 by the Berkshire Eagle’s “Region After Dark.” It is an artist’s playground where genre lines don’t matter. One audience member called it something you’d see in someone’s basement in Greenwich Village during the 1960’s.
