Fort Worth, Texas

A Lone Star Christmas Carol
Local Author and Musician Add Texas "Twist" to Tradition

Circle Theatre, a professional theatre located in Sundance Square, presents the world premiere of A Lone Star Christmas Carol by Gary Moody & Gary Taylor. Preview performances for the show are Thursday, November 19; Friday, November 20; and Saturday, November 21 (matinee). The production will officially open Saturday evening, November 21 at 8:00pm, followed by a post-show party with the cast & crew.

North Texas natives Gary Moody & Gary Taylor worked together on various projects in the 80's. But it wasn't until twenty years later, in 2000, that they decided to collaborate on A Lone Star Christmas Carol. Author, Gary Moody, states, "We thought audiences might appreciate a modern and colloquial "translation" of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It seemed to us that folks would enjoy seeing Dickens' story spoken and sung in the vernacular of the American Southwest, rather than chronicling a traditional English Christmas in the 1840's."

November 19 - December 19
