A Christmas Carol

I was the Assistant Director of A Christmas Carol. We started in September and just performed the 6th and 7th of December. It was a fabulous show. I was in charge of set design and props and we built a three level stage and created many creative backdrops to change the scene. " Two honest benefactors pleasant to behold" For costumes the students wore basic black and added shawls and bonnets, scarves etc..
These are two of my Spanish students and they are also part of our mission. This was their first show and they did great.

This is another backdrop we painted. One of my students designed the triangles and we had them made and then they created a wonderful winter scene.


Here is Scrooge with Jacob Marley the ghost. We had to build two extra platforms for the bedroom and office of Scrooge and we painted 8 backdrops.
Here is our Scrooge holding Tiny Tim. Josh (Scrooge) is an unbelievably talented actor. Behind them is one of the beautiful backdrops that the kids painted to make a London city scene. When I got flowers the first night I was surprised but when the kids gave me another bouquet the second night as well I was overwhelmed. They are one of the greatest group of kids I've ever worked with.
