Nutley Little Theatre presents A Christmas Carol by Michael Paller and directed by Rachel Rubin Ladutke. In Michael Paller's unique adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, renowned author Charles Dickens is visited by the spirit of himself as a young boy. When The Child demands a story, Dickens is struck with inspiration. He summons his family and friends, who have gathered for Christmas Eve dinner, up to his attic studio and enlists their help in performing the tale that is weaving his way through his brain. And so the story unfolds, with the cast of nine playing more than 40 roles.
The sharp contrast between two of the Upper Valley’s primary professional theaters is a recurring theme in these pages. Whatever Northern Stage might be doing, chances are Shaker Bridge Theatre is doing something not merely different but 180 degrees.
