Things I've watched...including my review of A Christmas Carol

Here is a brief account of the things that I've watched since Thursday.
I've watched the weather as it snowed....
As the sun shone...

As the sunset

And I've watched Mayne Island Little Theatre as they staged a Christmas Carol.
The stage was set

The audience grew eager.

The organist entertained.

And the youngest members of the cast prepared to make their appearance...

Then the play was, well, played. You know it is always impressive to witness the amazing transformation as friends and neighbours become actors. Everyone involved with this play from the actors to those who took care of the house deserve a heartfelt applause. They did an incredible job.

This version of a Christmas Carol was cleverly different. The role of Scrooge was aptly played by the talented oldest member of the cast Ed Pederson. The other four adult cast members with the help of on stage prop and custom changes portrayed the rest of the characters. But, however, in song and charm nothing could compare to the talented children actors. Their addition brought much to the play.

The play opened as a boy was called on stage by his parents. He began to read a Christmas Carol and thus the play unfolded. This boy, Mark Smith, was animated and drew the audience in with his comments of "Cool" and "Awesome".

I enjoyed the chemistry that all the cast shared. They all seemed to have a good time which ensure that we the audience would share in their fun.

They received three well-deserved curtain calls.

I'm still clapping.
