NC Shakespeare Festival presents A Christmas Carol

The NC Shakespeare Festival is gearing up for its 2012 presentation of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. The performance includes professional, local and child actors. This year's production will also touch thousands of students with nearly a dozen SchoolFest matinees planned for school groups across the Triad. Performances will be December 5-23 with evening shows at 7:30pm and weekend matinees at 2:00pm at the High Point Theatre. The NC Shakes production features original music by David Bishop. The soundtrack album for A Christmas Carol was just recorded, and it'll be available for purchase at the High Point Theatre.

North Carolina Shakespeare Festival actor Michael Huie will play the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. He stopped by to talk about it with David Ford.

Before his arrival in the Triad, David had already established himself as a fixture in the Austin, Texas arts scene as a radio host for Classical 89.5 KMFA. During his tenure there, he produced and hosted hundreds of programs including Mind Your Music, The Basics and T.G.I.F. Thank Goodness, It's Familiar, which each won international awards in the Fine Arts Radio Competition. As a radio journalist with 88.5 WFDD, his features have been recognized by the Associated Press, Public Radio News Directors Inc., Catholic Academy of Communication Professionals, and Radio Television Digital News Association of the Carolinas. David has written and produced national stories for NPR, KUSC and CPRN in Los Angeles and conducted interviews for Minnesota Public Radio's Weekend America.
