This is the season of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. I love its story of redemption. I am attracted to its idea that humans can redeem themselves with acts of kindness, love, and generosity, and that it’s never too late to do so. That reso- nates with me. I love revisiting it every year. I know it sounds sentimental and unrealistic and removed from our daily life, but isn’t that the purpose of the holidays -- to remove us from our routine? I hope our annual production of A Christmas Carol adds to that. My friend Greg Burgess takes on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for the third season. What I love about Greg’s performance is what I love about all of his performances—he always fi nds the humanity of the character no matter how much of a villain, antagonist, or yes, Scrooge, that character is.

  • Peter and the Starcatcher Sets Sail from the Citadel Theatre
    9828 – 101 A Avenue NW Artistic Director DARYL CLORAN Edmonton, Alberta Canada T5J 3C6 Executive Director PENNY RITCO Tel: 780.426.4811 Fax: 780.428.7194 www.citadeltheatre.com 19 Box Office: 780.425.1820 MEDIA RELEASE PETER AND THE STARCATCHER SETS SAIL FROM THE CITADEL THEATRE March 30, 2017 (EDMONTON) Swashbuckling pirates, mermaids, magic starstuff, and covert missions for the Queen comprise the secret recipe for hilarity and adventure when Peter and the Starcatcher plays at the Citadel April 1 to 23, 2017. Winner of five Tony awards, this madcap play with music and prequel to the beloved Peter Pan story sets sail from the Maclab stage and transports audiences to Neverland. Peter and the Starcatcher explores the wild circumstances that bring the young orphan who will never grow up from England to Neverland, resulting in an epic origin story for one of the most cherished characters of all time. The audience first meets Peter Pan as a nameless orphan simply referred to as “The Boy” aboard the Neverland, sold to the ship’s nefarious captain. Also aboard the Neverland is Molly Aster, a precocious pre-teen on a secret mission for the Queen. Molly and her father, who are Starcatchers, must collect starstuff as it falls to earth and dispose of it in a volcano on the remote island of Rundoon. Of course, as starstuff has magical powers, they aren’t the only ones interested in it. Will “The Boy” be able to help Molly and earn his legendary moniker? The stage adaptation is by Rick Elice, who wrote the smash hit musical, Jersey Boys.
