"Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has been adapted for the stage countless times, but The Phoenix Theatre Company's production, which is an updated version of the one that Actor's Theatre presented in town for close to 20 years before they closed a little over a decade ago, features a refreshing way to breathe new life into this classic and beloved tale....As Scrooge, Rusty Ferracane offers a textured performance, capturing both bitterness and vulnerability. By the time Scrooge is confronted with the bleakness of what lies ahead, his transformation into a man eager to embrace kindness feels fully earned in Ferracane's fleshed out portrayal." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"Until Actors Theatre of Phoenix closed in 2010, they mounted “A Christmas Carol” each holiday season. The popular and successful attraction became part of many family celebrations. After the company’s demise, the production disappeared but The Phoenix Theatre Company decided to bring the local tradition back in a refreshed staging in TPTC’s beautiful new Stephenson Theatre. TPTC also brought back Actors Theatre’s Matthew Wiener to recreate and revise his famous staging along with several local performers who played in the earlier staging. The result is the glorious return of the production in what we can hope will again become an annual part of our local holiday theater happenings." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
