DeSales University in bucolic Center Valley, PA is doing The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge. Again. The university produced the show several years ago and they’re actually doing it again. Fools.

“Back by popular demand, a holiday classic—spun on its head. One year after Dickens’ classic tale, Ebenezer’s epiphany has waned and he’s returned to his curmudgeonly ways. He files suit against Jacob Marley and the Christmas ghosts for kidnapping, slander, and emotional distress. All of Dickens’ classic characters take the stand in this heartwarming family comedy that ends once again (surprise, surprise!) in triumphant redemption.”

DeSales University is a special place for me because it’s also the home of the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, where I performed in several seasons and did some fantastic shows. I think my all-time favorite show was The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Performing that show was thrilling every single performance. And the Festival also produced my play Around the World in 80 Days.

The show runs December 4 – 14. You can buy tickets here.Thank you Steven Dennis, the cast, and crew for doing my show. Break lots of bones.
