A CHristmas Carol- Citadel Theatre
Director: Daryl Cloran
Set & Costume Design: CORY SINCENNES
Lighting Design: Leigh Ann Vardy
“This festive tale unfolds across Cory Sincennes' intricately designed sets, each and every scene immersive and atmospheric. Scrooge's lavish retail empire boasts beautiful displays of Christmas ornaments and nutcrackers, complete with a revolving door leading to the wintry outside world. The production's spooky scenes are brought to life with haunting precision; the fog-swept streets are eerily cinematic while Scrooge's austere quarters amplify the sinister nature of Jacob Marley's visit. Coupled with Leigh Ann Vardy's detailed lighting design, you can nearly feel the gusts of icy wind, the chilly brush of falling snowflakes, and the eventual golden warmth of Christmas morning. “

”The production gives you another chance to appreciate Cory Sincennes’ design, in synch with Cloran’s stagecraft that sends characters whirling through window and doors, and especially the revolving door that along with the clock is a keynote of the stage. Sincennes’ lavish costumes trace Scrooge’s journey into his past through the 20th century. And Leigh Ann Vardy’s dramatically apt lighting moves the piece through time and space, and ghostly appearances, too. “
