Don't miss "How Scrooge Stole Christmas."
The Drama Guild of Winston-Salem State University will perform “How Scrooge Stole Christmas” November 20-23.
The performances are at K.R. Williams Auditorium. Performance time is 7 p.m. for the Friday and Saturday shows, 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $4 for students, $5 for faculty and staff, $9 general admission and $6 for senior adults.
According to the show’s author and director, Andre Minkins, an assistant professor in the Department of English and Foreign Languages, this Scrooge has some strange notions about Christmas. “He tried to move it Uptown, away from a manager, and turned White Christmas Blue in spite of Black Nativity,” says Minkins.
In this updated version of the classic tale, Hip Hop artist Scrooge has bad memories of Christmas but his manager wants him to make a Christmas album and spread good cheer. He balks at the idea and hatches a plan to ruin everybody’s holiday—until he gets a few visitors of his own that could ruin some things for him as well.
The show is a hilarious compilation of favorite Christmas themes sure to awaken the true spirit of Christmas and frighten away the Scrooge in all of us.
