"Christmas Carol" was some of the best ensemble work I've seen in a long time. Just delightful and moving and spiritually refreshing. Also, "Absurd Person Singular" was so goood! The acting, staging, costumes, sound, directing. It was like watching a lighter shade of Pinter. To be sure, the audience last Monday night consisted mostly of people with name tags from some financial group. They seemed clueless about what they were seeing. They reminded me a bit of the lives of the characters on stage. For me the contrast between the two productions focused the contrast between Christmas with Christ and His absence in people's lives all year round. Bravo! to the creative team at work here. And to all, a Merry Christmas Phil Ginsburg My wife and I attended two productions last week at DCPA and loved them both.
