November 11, 2011
O'Fallon, MO
Tickets for the O’FallonTheatreWorks’ production of Mark Landon Smith’s comedy, A Dickens of a Christmas Carol: A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultuous Acts, will be available starting Monday, November 7.
The play will be performed on the stage at the O’Fallon Municipal Centre (City Hall), 100 North Main Street , O’Fallon, Missouri 63366, and concessions will be available. Evening performances will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 2, and December 9, and Saturday, December 3, and December 10. Two matinee performances are scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 4, and on Saturday, December 10.
The comedy opens on the tribulations of a stuffy old English theater troupe struggling to put on their 15th annual farewell tour of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. The company diva puts a hitch in the plans, however, by faking an illness to get the production cancelled. But the troupe rallies, shuffling roles and thrusting a sweet but thoroughly unprepared understudy on center stage. Determined to regain the spotlight, the diva crashes the production, resulting in madness-upon-mayhem for the rest of the cast and crew, as everything goes hilariously wrong.
Discounted tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 636-474-2732, or by coming to the Renaud Spirit Center recreation complex, 2650 Tri Sports Circle, O’Fallon, MO 63368.
