A Christmas Carol: Christmas Present
built 186 days ago
There are probably as many ways to present A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens' Christmas classic, as there are to cook your Christmas bird. You can perform it as the cast-of-thousands version, with all the bells and whistles and all the ribbons and bows. You can perform it with a single actor standing on a stage.

What They're NOT About . Strangely enough, made-for-TV movies about Christmas aren't really about Christmas. Yes, they take place around the holiday. And, yes, they borrow much of the secular commercial imagery of the holiday -- shopping, colorful lights, trees, gift-wrapped presents, etc. But there's very little actual Christmas to be found. The movies never get around to talking about religion, spiritual faith or, um, the birth of Jesus -- which would seem to be the TMOC.

Doug Truelson makes a most welcome debut on the OSF stage as the Ghost of Christmas Present, among other roles. The fact that a tall, bearded, portly man can bring a tear to the eye playing the bereaved Mrs. Cratchit, is a testament to his skill.
