Quality theatre! Here are two very recent quotes from long-term subscribers:
"The plays produced at Interplayers this year are as good as any we have seen through our 27 years as subscribers. Jose and I, who both have fairly demanding standards for the dramatic material we want to experience, have been VERY impressed by the quality of the plays shown so far this year. And we’ve seen a LOT of plays!" --Joyce Alonso
"Grace and Glorie was one of the best productions we've seen since we've had season tickets--more than 20 years." --Peg Leslie
This December special event is a 50 minute play to enjoy downtown during the holidays!
Do you like to laugh? For 50 minutes of fun for all ages, put your your holiday caroling, shopping, wrapping, cookie baking or other good deeds doing on hold! Even if you haven't purchased your tickets, just drop by Interplayers 30 minutes before a performance (see dates and times below) of A Reduced Christmas Carol OR Scrooge vs.The Stopwatch and we’ll do our best to find you a seat!
FIRST ANNUAL INTERPLAYERS
COMMUNITY HOLIDAY FESTIVAL
Featuring 20 Performances of
A Reduced Christmas Carol
About the Play: Back this year by popular demand. A Reduced Christmas Carol or Scrooge vs. The Stopwatch, is adapted from the much loved Charles Dickens story. This holiday tale is set against a strict temporal timepiece, the modern stopwatch. Fourteen characters, human and spirit, are reduced to just four actors. A two-hour extravaganza is reduced to just one hour. The audience will play townspeople, with wind, church bills and ghosts, from the privacy of their own padded chairs. Unsuspecting, budding Thespians will be auditioned to play Gentlemen.
Director and Playwright: Ann Whiteman.
Cast: John Hart, Maynard Villers, Patrick Treadway, Reed McColm, and Scott Finlayson taking John Hart's roles during some performances.
