“God bless us everyone!” Most everyone has seen Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, or at least heard this famous line. This time it emanated from Jefferson’s auditorium. The Jefferson Theatre Company presented a new version of the old classic which was adapted by Warren Magnuson. The new version was similar to the original, but it also included the part of the writer, Charles Dickens. The adaption, if published, would include the original cast and crew lists. The play opened with Mr. Dickens (Scott Silverman) entering and giving the audience some background information. After his dialogue, the scene shifted to the office of Scrooge and Marley where Scrooge (Tim Pesola) and Bob Cratchit (Bob Hoyt) shivered as they worked. After begrudgingly permitting Cratchit Christmas Day off, Scrooge goes home to be visited by Marley (Jeff Rugel) and the legendary spirits (Lisa Borneman, John Pollock, and Melanie Harfield). While the spirits and Scrooge acted in front of the “scrim” there was also action going on behind it. The scrim, a piece of material that ran the length of the stage, created many of the special effects that made this show the most technical production ever at Jefferson. The scrim’s material was such that when light shone on the front of it, it was impossible to see through it. When light was shone on the back of the scrim, whoever, the acts could take place behind it on a raised platform that was surrounded by fog. Even more special effects were made possible due to the expertise of Dave Horn and the many hours put in by the electrical crew, Beth Noard, Maureen Olson, Krista Kirkeide, Dave Hodnefield, Mike Wheeler, and Chuck Letner. The actors, too, put in many hours in the six-week preparation for the play. Actor Bob Hoyt, speaking for the cast, commented that it really hurt when the play was over because the cast had become a family; they worked together and the play had taught them to tolerate people, despite the quarrels and problems.
