The Un-Common Theatre Company begins our 32nd season with “A Christmas Carol”, a fun and lively musical adaptation of Dickens’ classic novella. This production, our fourth collaboration with Bay Colony Productions, will be performed at the Orpheum Theatre in Foxboro on December 2-4 and December 9-11.

Charles Dickens' classic gets the full Broadway treatment by the Broadway team of Alan Menken ("Beauty and the Beast", "Little Mermaid"), Lynn Ahrens ("Ragtime", "Seussical") and Mike Okrent ("Crazy For You", "Me and My Girl."). A story we all know and love set to music overflowing with Holiday feelings to carry in our hearts all year long.

Called by The New York Times "a tonic for adults, and for children a transfixing journey“, this spectacular musical extravaganza is filled with the magic of the holiday season, exuberant dances, flying ghosts and the sights and sounds of Dickensian London. "A Christmas Carol" retains its emotional power and pure joy, thanks to the marvelously-told story by Ockrent and Ahrens, and the Menken/Ahrens score filled with beautiful melodies and emotional lyrics.

“A Christmas Carol” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

The Un-Common Theatre Company continues our 32nd season with And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank, a unique theatrical experience.

And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank is a multimedia play that combines videotaped interviews with Holocaust survivors Ed Silverberg and Eva Schloss and live actors recreating scenes from their lives during World War II. Ed was Anne Frank's first boyfriend, and she wrote about him in the beginning of her now-famous diary. Eva Schloss was the same age as Anne Frank and lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam. Her family went into hiding the same day as the Frank family. And like the Frank family, they were betrayed. On Eva's 15th birthday, her family was arrested by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. Part oral history, part dramatic action, part direct address, part remembrance, And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank breaks new ground and has been acclaimed by audiences and critics in world-wide productions.

And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
