Comments on: A Christmas Carol http://www.pcs.org This is Your Blog on Theater Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:56:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Barnaby McScrivener http://www.pcs.org/carol08/comment-page-1/#comment-20777 Barnaby McScrivener Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:31:02 +0000 http://www.pcs.org/?page_id=1673#comment-20777 I thank you and the Company for another fine evening spent delighting in your dramatic exposition of Mr. Dickens’ tale. Last night, I attended with young Padraig O’Fennessey, an orphan upon whom my employer bestowed kindness after finding him plying his trade as a pitiful costermonger on the streets of Dublin. Now a loyal member in my master’s domestic service, young Padraig is taking delight in the heretofore unfamiliar delights of the cultural life. Admittedly, the lad is an overly excitable sort (with an amusing habit of shouting “Huzzah!” in the presence of ladies); however, a dram of laudanum before the curtain rose kept him calm throughout the entire five staves of the story. I sincerely hope that his consumptive cough was not troubling for your other fine patrons. I do believe it may snow. God bless us every one.

Once again, your fine players comported themselves with aplomb, rendering Mr. Dickens’ charming fable with much good cheer. We left the hall with hearts gladdened and a renewed sense of charity. After the performance, we retired to our suite at the charming hostelry we now call our home in Portland. Over a glass of Port, we played a game of Pope in the Pulpit followed by a rousing round of That’s My Frigate! A fine evening indeed.

When will the site be updated to include this? Also, I've hoped all season to read press releases on the shows, but the Newsroom portion of the site has not been updated since last season.
