The Reviews are in! Don't Miss Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol!
Last chance to see this great new twist on a holiday classic this week at The Stagecrafters Theater.
"Casabuena Cultural Productions’ irreverent take on the beloved Charles Dickens classic follows Marley on a redemptive quest to save his wretched soul. Directed by Mariangela Saavedra, Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol feels akin to the 1988 Bill Murray film Scrooged (a classic in its own right), in that it has a modern sensibility, is laugh-out-loud hilarious, and yet manages to maintain all the heart, soul, and mercy of Dickens’ original masterpiece...There were points where I felt as if the actors had invited me onstage and, with only the light of a candle between us, were somehow speaking directly to me...Simply put, the play is all heart and soul! "- Michael Kelly, DC Metro Arts
"The thing that strikes the audience most is the sense of joy that the actors exude. Under Mariangela Saavedra’s extremely capable hands this troop presents a new perspective on an old story and provides a delightful entertainment for its audience. In this season when many people fall prey to anxiety and hassle, I urge you to visit with Jacob Marley and friends at Stagecrafters Theater this weekend." - Dennis Bloh, B Sharp Productions
"Tom Mula’s reimagining of the classic Dickens tale is a good fit for this family friendly company. The slightly anachronistic humor gets laughs, and a warm-hearted ending captures the essence of the Christmas tradition"- Dorie Byrne, PHINDIE
