Ryan Gladstone writes and directs this hilarious adaptation!
A Monster Theatre for Kids Production
Starring Bruce Horak and Tara Travis
Written and Directed by Ryan Gladstone
The world’s most feared and grumpy theatrical impresario has created an extravaganza of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol featuring a cast of nearly one hundred actors, singers, dancers, musicians, jugglers, and fire eaters.
It’s opening night, but due to the impossible demands being made on them, all the actors have quit just prior to the first performance…all except one, that is! Not wanting to refund the tickets for a sold-out opening night, the curmudgeonly producer declares that the show must go on. The lone remaining cast member, not wanting to disappoint the throngs of children with their mums and dads who have filled the theatre, agrees to help out.
Together, they take to the stage and perform the entire play themselves!
Over 50 characters, puppets, songs, dance numbers, flying ghosts, and a heartwarming finale all performed by just two actors.
A Christmas Carol is booking up fast in Nov/Dec 2012!
For booking information, contact Kevin Bruce Artist Management.
Monster Theatre Artistic Associate Bruce Horak (Freud vs. His Ego, The Canada Show and many more!) is touring his incredible one-man show ‘This is Cancer’ this summer.
Cancer, a deluded egotistical ass, goes on his own journey of denial, anger, bargaining and acceptance when he finds out that the whole world hates him.
“One of the weirdest, and most brilliant shows the fringe has ever seen!” -Edmonton Sun
After a sold-out run in 2010, ‘This is Cancer’ returns to Edmonton and comes to Vancouver.
LAVINIA: A Modern Fairy Tale of Gigantic Proportions
A one-woman play about a girl who is too huge for ballet, too huge for her house, and whose imagination is simply too huge for her own good. She delves deep into her own imaginary world, goes on an incredible adventure, rescues The Golden Swan, and learns that everyone belongs! Ages 5+
Written and Performed by Tara Travis
Directed by Ryan Gladstone
“An imaginative fairy-tale adventure that keeps audiences of all sizes hooked along the way with her charmingly sheepish demeanor, exaggerated physical antics, eccentric puppet friends and unexpected guest stars. You’ll grow to love her in a big way!”
