“Marley was dead,” but Charles Dickens is very much alive. Considering how many area theaters have or are producing the Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol,” Dickens will be around for a long time to come. This is due to talented actors and writers like Patrick Spadaccino, who loved this story so much that he adapted it into a one-man show. The actor plays 25 characters. Best of all, audiences can now see this ever-lasting story at the Ridgefield Theater Barn either live or virtual. Even more exciting, audiences get to see the writer/actor Patrick Spadaccino actually playing all the roles.
