Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol, Oldcastle Theatre, Dec 13-23

I hope you didn’t accidentally read Bob Marley in the headline, although I bet that would make an interesting play (just give us credit if it’s wildly successful for you!). No, this is the next best thing, A Christmas Carol from Jacob’s Marley’s point of view (one of the spirits assigned to change Scrooge’s ways). It has been described as irreverent, funny, and moving. What’s not to love?

Over the weekend our family had the opportunity to attend the Annual Christmas Tea at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church on Pleasant Street. Needless to say, we had a lovely time.
