For the delight of audiences aged 5 to 105, Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre (CAMT) will stage a holiday favorite, "A Christmas Carol, Oy! Hanukkah, Merry Kwanzaa." Adapted, directed and reinvented by Vit Horejs, this toy-puppet theater extravaganza is a new take on Charles Dickens' classic with Czech accents and a few twists and digressions. Into the familiar story is woven a surprising and delightful blend of English, Jewish, African, American and Czech winter rituals and customs, all performed by over three dozen marionettes ranging in size from four to twenty-four inches as well as found objects and toys. Mr. Horejs operates the whole cast of puppets, backed up by a live chorus: an "a capella monumentale" choir of Katarina Vizina (a transplant from Slovakia) and Valois Mickens (West African/Celtic/Native American origin).
Schedule: Dec. 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, Jan. 2, 3, 4, 5.
Thu/Fri/Sat- 8 PM. Matinees Sat & Sun at 3 PM.
Come dressed as character of Dickens' Christmas Carol or any seasonal holiday and use discount code SCROOGE for $2 off all tickets (advance sale and box office). (from )
