Ah, can it be? Have we really done our last "A Christmas Carol/Dickens" tour for 2008?
Yes Virginia, tis true. And now the exciting task of unpacking the dressing room and getting ready for 2008. A swift inventory and triage reveals the squashing of the Scrooge top hat- oh, hat blocking skills don't fail me now! And the tiny tears in many a skirt and popped buttons and Tiny Tim's crutch has lost some bark- oh, what a noble crutch is here unbarked (?)But it's not too bad and we got a lovely cast photo before it all went back into the strolls chariot.
What lovely audiences we had this run and a local celebrity too! One guest told me this was her 8th Dickens performance and "it just gets better every year, I don't know how you do it". High praise indeed and we hope to live up to it. But, the Expedition box and Sir Hilary beckon so prep I must.
2009 is almost here!
First up, "The Expedition" which begins in a very strange location (all will be revealed) in a Potbellys Restaurant on Indiana Avenue NW at noon on January 3rd, 2009. $10 adults, $5 under 16. Meets at 637 Indiana Avenue NW right across 7th Street from the Archives Metro Station at 7th and Penn Ave. Walk past the Starbucks to Potbellys. www.historicstrolls.com or 301-588-9255 for info
