Culture Talks A Christmas Carol at the Warner Grand Theatre.
As the Warner Grand Theatre’s closure is scheduled for January 2024, and theaters in general are facing mounting challenges, the San Pedro Waterfront Arts District will present a staged reading of Sir Patrick Stewart’s Adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Dec. 22 at the Warner Grand Theatre.
This staged reading will feature local luminaries, such as Councilman Tim McOsker CD15, actors from Little Fish/Shakespeare by the Sea, Encore South Bay Group, House of Bards Theatre Company and Cornerstone Theater represented by Bruce Lemon and members from the community. The play is directed by Renee O’Connor-Sura, (House of Bards Theatre Company) and Jacob Nye (Encore South Bay Group). This production is intended to be a fundraiser to benefit the four theater organizations performing in San Pedro.
The idea was the brainchild of married social entrepreneurs, Fred Allen and Linda Grimes, who met in New York City, when Fred was the Broadway lighting designer for this very successful one-man play.
“We wanted to present this work, as it has informed our relationship for the past 29 years and its messages are very relevant to today’s world situation,” notes San Pedro Waterfront Arts District executive director, Linda Grimes.
Before the performance, Santa Claus is hosting a photo booth for holiday pictures. VIP ticket holders will be treated to a dessert reception after the play reading in the Warner Grand upstairs lobby. Tickets are now available. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the four participating local theaters.
