KEVIN MORIARTY on A CHRISTMAS CAROL 2019-2020 Season Line-Up In 1843 – when Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol as a “ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an idea” – Victorian London was a profoundly unjust society, built on the backs of workers toiling in appalling conditions of poverty and abuse. The Musical Children – both boys and girls – began work in shipyards, nail factories, and IN THE HEIGHTS iron and coal mines at age five and generally died before they were twenty- five. Many factory workers worked twelve-hour days, six days a week...often including Christmas day.
The Fiery Dickens was horrified at these conditions.
ANN In October of 1843 he gave a speech to promote the “understanding that the relations between the employer and his employee involves a mutual duty and responsibility.” The Nimble But he was determined to do more to affect change in individuals and A CHRISTMAS CAROL society at large. Thus, as Norrie Epstein writes, “the germinating image of A Christmas Carol was not that of the ghosts, Scrooge, or even Tiny Tim, but the two The Timeless allegorical children: Ignorance and Want.”
Dickens set out to write a pamphlet about caring for the needy, but instead LITTLE WOMEN he was inspired to write a story that he hoped would hit his readers over the head, “like a sledgehammer.”
The Vibrant Our production – set in a Victorian factory – hopes to honor Dickens’ passion and concerns in telling this miraculous story of community, social AMERICAN MARIACHI responsibility, and spiritual redemption. We hope to provoke, delight and move you as you join us in taking Ebenezer Scrooge on a magical (and at times scary!) journey from a cold, lonely place The Poignant of darkness and selfishness to a warm world of light and hope. We aspire to honor Dickens’ vision of Christmas as a time of kindness and generosity by PIPELINE inviting you to join us in remembering those in need at this holy time of the year. And we hope that this beloved story of love, community and family will fill you and your loved ones with comfort and joy.
The Hilarious God bless us, everyone! THE SUPREME LEADER

DallasTheaterCenterGuild.org 13 #ACHRISTMASCAROLDALLAS About the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB)
Just down the street, at a nearby school, or in the workplace – you are surrounded by neighbors facing hunger. Today, nearly 800,000 North Texans struggle with food insecurity. Which means – one in six people – including one in five children – do not know where they will find their next meal. Add to that, the growing population who must choose between putting food on the table or paying for health care, utilities or child care. The face of hunger is all around us, but we can change that.
Founded in 1982, the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is a top-ranked nonprofit, hunger-relief organization committed to closing the hunger gap in North Texas by providing access to nutritious food. Every day, with the support of partners like you, the Food Bank provides access to more than 200,000 nutritious meals for hungry children, seniors and families. Last year alone, the Food Bank provided access to nearly 77 million meals. But the need for hunger-relief continues to grow, and in order to meet the need, the Food Bank is working to increase food distribution eorts. Our goal is to provide access to 92 million nutritious meals annually by 2025.
This holiday season, and all throughout the year, please consider donating your time, your voice, nutritious food or a financial contribution. Thanks to a generous match, now through December 31, every dollar donated to the North Texas Food Bank will be doubled to provide six healthy meals to hungry neighbors.
Remember, every meal makes a dierence. It represents one less neighbor deciding between groceries or paying bills. It represents a child receiving a backpack of nutritious food for the weekend and a senior receiving critical nourishment from a friendly face. It represents a commitment to a hunger-free, healthy North Texas. Together, we can nourish our community and provide hope to our neighbors facing hunger, one meal at a time.
Join us today at ntfb.org/dtc.

In 2009, with the generous support of Diane and Hal Brierley, Artistic Director Kevin Moriarty reinstated Dallas Theater Center’s resident acting company. His intent was to develop and nurture professional actors within the North Texas community and enable them to make Dallas their artistic home. At the same time, he sought to enhance Dallas Theater Center’s artistic profile and create ongoing collaborative relationships. The eight-member Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company has since become a signature component of Dallas Theater Center’s presence in the Dallas Arts District.
