A Christmas Carol Scrooge & Marley

Delphian School’s Theater Department Brought a Classic Tale to Life with A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley

ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY ISRAEL HOROVITZ

Delphian School’s Theater Department has again wowed audiences with their latest performance, A Christmas Carol: Scrooge & Marley. This delightful production of the beloved holiday tale by Charles Dickens was adapted for the stage by Israel Horovitz and brought to life by the talented students of Delphian.

Senior Pennelope Arezzini, who played the role of Jacob Marley, took on a leadership role within the cast this year. She shared, “I loved being a part of this production. I grew as an actress, performer, teammate, and leader.” Pennelope and her fellow cast members’ dedication and hard work were evident in their performance which shone on stage.

Director Corey Orthmann was thrilled with the cast who pulled off an incredible show and the crew who tirelessly

worked to add the extra magic the show needed, from hand painting the backdrop to cutting paper into bits to use as “snow” to fall from the ceiling on stage. Corey said about the production, “I’ve thought Delphian should perform A Christmas Carol for years, and I’m thrilled to have finally seen it happen. I’m so proud of everyone involved in bringing this classic story to life. The cast, crew, and staff did an amazing job.”

The production was a testament to the power of the arts and the Delphian community’s ability to come together and create something special.

The recording of the performance is now available on Delphian’s YouTube channel for all to enjoy.
