Open Stage posts holiday shows

Open Stage, a theater company located at 25 N. Court St., Harrisburg, has slated holiday performances.

Open Stage will present "Who's Holiday!" for the fourth year in its Studio Theater on select dates from Saturday, Nov. 25, to Saturday, Dec. 23. The parody is a twist on the classic "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" "Who's Holiday!" is an adult-only comedy that tells the story of Cindy Lou Who and her life after she met the Grinch on Christmas Eve. The one-woman show stars Rachel Landon as Cindy Lou Who and features comedy, musical numbers and adult-only humor. An ASL-interpreted performance will take place on Sunday, Dec. 3, at 6 p.m.

For the 24th consecutive year, Open Stage will present "A Christmas Carol." Performances will take place on the Capital Blue Cross Main Stage on select dates from Saturday, Dec. 2, to Dec. 23, and an ASL-interpretated performance will be presented on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 2:30 p.m.

The stage adaptation by Rachek and Stuart Landon brings to life Charles Dickens' classic novel of Ebenezer Scrooge and his journey with three spirits that visit him on Christmas Eve. The ghostly visitors review his past and foretell his future, leading him to learn the true meaning of Christmas.

The production stars Nicholas Hughes, who has played Ebenezer Scrooge at Open Stage for 24 years. The cast also features David Richwine as the clerk Bob Cratchit, Joellen Terranova as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Karen Ruch as the Ghost of Christmas Present and Jeff Wasileski as the Ghost of Christmas Future. The cast also includes Dan Bixler, Patty Cole, Leigh Anne Hoes, Patrick Hughes, Chris Krahulec, Gabriella DeCarli, Kevin Cole, Jack Hoover, Ollie Nicotera, and many students of the Alsedek Theatre School.
