Images from Christmas and yesterday

Christmas day I worked at ZACH in the evening and then I attended the show A Christmas Carol. It deserved a second look for two reasons.

One, it is a great show as I wrote previously. Think Moulin Rouge meets Christmas. The visuals and music were great. It was a retelling of the classic Dickens tale about Ebenezer Scrooge; the songs weren’t all Christmas songs, but they told the story beautifully.

Two, there were a few cast changes. Amma Osei played the role of Christmas Present and Mrs. Dilbert. When I saw the play the first time the role was played by her understudy. The role of Scrooge would be played by Marco Perella. There really wasn’t much difference. I wasn’t expecting any difference, but you never know what will happen. The audience really got into the performance early on.

I had planned to see the last show, but I was tired after being at ZACH for 7 hours.

 I like seeing the last show because there is usually more emotion in the performance. After all, it’s the last show.

Everyone will be going back to their daily lives.

I got to know some of the cast members a little better and they showed their appreciation.

Now I contemplate what I will do next as there will be no work for a few weeks.

I have to create some opportunities and see where it all leads.
