A Christmas Carol

Ticket & Program

So over the Christmas holiday we were able to attend a production of  'A Christmas Carol'.  One of Jim's co-worker's mentioned that his daughter was in it.  Which, by the by, she was wonderful in.

This production was put on by the Virginia Stage Company at the Wells Theatre in downtown Norfolk.  It's a wonderful theater just across from the MacArther Mall.  Lovely architecture.  I could have wandered around just checking it out.

It's interesting to see something you've watched on TV numerous times.  Actors want to make each part their own, which I understand.  However, sometimes the timing is a bit off and can make the line you're trying to make your own sound very odd.

And a note to anyone attending a play, when the lights dim and the play begins....

Turn off your FREAKING cell phone!

Not only is it rude to the people around you, it's rude and distracting to the actors.

I didn't pay to hear your obnoxious ring tone go on and on while you dig through your luggage size purse to find your phone.  Yes, that was directed to the obnoxious woman sitting behind us who did this.  Even the people she was with commented on it.

I had to hold in the laugh when I heard, "Really?  You couldn't turn off your freaking phone?"

Other than that it was truly enjoyable and I believe something we will do again!
