Thatcher to play Dickens in â€˜Christmas Carolâ€™

By Journal staff | Saturday, December 22, 2007

Veteran actor Graham Thatcher will play the role of Charles Dickens in a dramatization of “A Christmas Carol” at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 23, at Grace United Methodist Church, 10060 Foothills Drive in Piedmont.

Dickens himself tells the famous story of Scrooge, Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim and all of the ghosts of Christmas with immediacy, terror, excitement, love and grace, according to a press release. The story transports the audience to another time and place so that they might better understand their own times, where they have been and what they have become.

Our comment policy explains the rules of the road for registered commenters.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
