Clarksville, TN – After the Thanksgiving feast and Black Friday hustle, kick off your family’s holiday season and discover the true meaning of Christmas with the Roxy Regional Theatre’s holiday musical A Charles Dickens Christmas, opening this Friday, November 29th at 7:00pm.
In this delightful and highly original take on A Christmas Carol, Austin Michael Russell stars as a young Charles Dickens, struggling to write the Christmas story that will become the most famous holiday tale of all time. With the aid of his artistic muse, Dickens faces – and comes to terms with – his own troubled youth, learning the true meaning of Christmas and finding the inspiration he needs.
Equal parts humorous and sentimental, with a rich musical score by Douglas J. Cohen and Tom Toce, this behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Dickens’ immortal classic is sure to bring holiday cheer to audiences of all ages.
Directed by Kelly Letourneau with music direction by Travis Ulrich, A Charles Dickens Christmas also features Ashley Birnbaum, Howard Snyder, Jonathan Thompson, Zachary Wilde and Tamarin K. Ythier, alongside local youth Malin Barnhill, Zoë Fewox, Elizabeth Fletcher, Hadleigh Heberer, Bennet Hubbell, Elise Hubbell, Scarlett Johnston, Natalie Shasserre and Addy Stull.
