“The Millionth Production of A Christmas Carol”

December 3, 2017 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

The Millionth Production of A Christmas Carol
James Kopp
Pear Theatre
The Cast of The Millionth Production of A Christmas Carol
Entitled The Millionth Production of A Christmas Carol, the play by James Kopp receiving its world premiere at Pear Theatre is a love story to local, struggling theatre companies.  By the thousands across America in towns large and small, these troupes struggle to stay alive on budgets bare, often returning to Dickens or Shakespeare (as in Midsummer Night’s Dream) to bring in the occasional theatre-goer so they can also offer to the few and faithful Chekov, Moliere, or some other more challenging fare.  The play explores what goes on behind the scenes on one such company … especially when it is visited by a ghost not in the script.
For my full review, please click to Talkin’ Broadway: https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj104.html.
