Especially a year like 2020. When have we needed it more? Itâs also unthinkable that the Omaha Community Playhouseâs most-beloved play could have been a super-spreader event for coronavirus in the Omaha area and beyond, given the showâs popularity outstate and in southwest Iowa. The Playhouse staff and director Kimberly Faith Hickman deserve abundant praise and gratitude from the community for seeing that neither scenario became real. âA Christmas Carolâ is alive and more than well online, in a version designed to keep actors and technicians safe. Sets are easier to manipulate by a skeleton crew, the cast is limited to eight people and scenes are blocked so that thereâs plenty of distance between actors.
