KALA presents the Astoria Readers Theater in Jacob Marley’s Last Chance. A new one-act play by local playwright Rick Gray. Thursday and Friday, November 13th and 14th at 7:30pm. Tickets $15, online at kalaastoria.com.
Everyone knows “A Christmas Carol”. We meet the flinty old businessman, Ebenezer Scrooge, who receives – though he hardly welcomes – visits from four Ghosts, starting with his late partner, Jacob Marley. By the end of one eventful night, Scrooge has discovered the meaning of Christmas – and been transformed.
But how did Jacob Marley get permission to visit Scrooge, in the first place? Not exactly standard operating procedure in the Afterlife!
By the end of a hectic, improvised, and more than occasionally comic evening, more than one crusty old miser has seen things in a new light.
