ART returns to the Paramount for a fourth year with its annual favorite, Peter Marsh’s original adaptation of Charles Dickens’ holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, Dec. 4 & 5 at 8 p.m. This is the timeless tale of Scrooge and his voyage into Christmas past, present, and future and is critically acclaimed because audiences love its blend of story-telling and traditional theatre. Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and other familiar characters come to life as ART creates the world of Dickens through acting, magic, music and dance. This year, Tom Smith, “Scrooge” for the past two seasons, directs and Martin Bones takes over the lead.

ALMOST, MAINE

April 22 – 25 & April 29 - May 2: 8 p.m. (Matinees on April 25 & May : 2 p.m.

ALMOST, MAINE by John Cariani

Ticket Price: $20.00: General Admission

In the prologue to John Cariani’s new romantic comedy, Almost, Maine, directed by Peter Marsh, two bundled-up sweethearts healingly confess their feelings. These two are the only characters who recur in the show. The four- member cast, populates an entire town of people with distinct and various emotional states. Almost Maine is a crowd pleaser. Playwright John Cariani, from Presque Isle, Maine (pop. 9, 511) understands people and feelings in remote areas. He’s created a bevy of working-class people who occasionally finish the day by going to the “Moose Patty” and drinking the night away. In the cold, dark winter of rural America, people struggle to make and keep romantic connections through the course of eight different stories.
