Christmas season starts this week as the Warner Robins Little Theatre will perform “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol,” written by Tom Mula and directed by Fred Hardin, starting today. The story is a version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” told by Marley’s ghost.
“I like to kick off the Christmas season,” said Hardin, who is directing his 30th production.
The cast consists of four actors who play 18 different roles. Cast members shift from narrators to characters back to narrators, with a change of accent, movement or sound effect.
Alexander Raines, who plays Marley and a few other characters, said he planned on taking time off but always wanted to work with Hardin.
“It’s my first time working with Fred,” Raines said. “I haven’t done anything like this before.”
Scrooge is played by David Kelley, and the other two actors are Ben Daniel and Whitney Sheffield.
