Arts events in Sarasota-Manatee: Dec. 10-16
A Dickens of a performance
Jim Floyd has a rare treat for himself and audiences this holiday season. He not only gets to return to performing after a long pandemic-forced break, but he’s playing all the characters in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” including the author himself. Floyd stars in the Players Centre for Performing Arts production of Greg Oliver Bodine’s one-man version of the classic story outdoors at the Bazaar at Apricot & Lime in Sarasota. He plays the author who has arrived for a reading from his novel about Ebenezer Scrooge and his experience one Christmas. But when Dickens’s luggage and his book don’t arrive, he ends up acting out the story for the audience, using whatever props and items of clothing he can to transform himself into ghosts, Bob Cratchit or Tiny Tim. It’s the first of three outdoor shows at the Bazaar planned by the Players Centre. “A Christmas Carol” runs through Dec. 20. Ticke
