Scrooge is given a glimpse of the future. From the 2019 UTEP Theatre & Dance stage production of A Christmas Carol en la Frontera.
“Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.”
Those are the classic opening lines to Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol.”
What if Dickens’ 1843 novella was plucked from 19th century England to the 20th century Texas-Mexico border?
The Department of Theatre & Dance at the University of Texas at El Paso has put on a production of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” since 2006. They adapted the story to
la frontera in 2018.
Adriana Dominguez, assistant professor and director of Theatre Programs at UTEP, co-adapted “A Christmas Carol en la Frontera” with Jay Stratton.
