TEN SPOT Thursday - Dec 16 - 8:00pm
Join us for limited engagement of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL - in the style that Dickens himself performed the work, when he toured the United States in the 1840s.
“Bah! Humbug!”
Is there a more famous response to being wished “Merry Christmas!”?
Scrooge, Tiny Tim, the trio of Christmas ghosts, and the story of what happens when a bitter old man is given one last chance at redemption, are as well known as any of Dickens’ characters. They’ve been portrayed in films and on TV around the world and, now you can meet them all, live on stage in Spotlighters’ captivating, one-man adaptation.
Using only Dickens’ inimitable language, Phil Gallagher’s performance will thrill and chill audiences of all ages. With minimal props and costume, Gallagher portrays all these much loved characters and breathes new life into a story that is as moving, relevant, and redemptive as it was when first written, over 170 years ago.

TEN SPOT Thursday - Jan 27 - 8:00pm
Join us for a new look at one of Shakespeare's most loved comedies....
Much Ado About Nothing, a 1598 comedy by William Shakespeare, features two romantic pairings that emerge when a group of soldiers arrive in town. The first, between the two young lovers Hero and Claudio, is almost upset by a villain’s fiendish plot; the second, between the more mature lovers Beatrice and Benedick, is hampered by the fact that the two begin by hating each other! “Noting” or “nothing" means gossip, rumor and eavesdropping, and thus witty banter, secrets and trickery form the backbone of the play's comedy, intrigue and action. Plus tuneful songs, formal dances and comic turns by the malaprop-afflicted Constable Dogberry!
