I survived a 'Christmas Carol' marathon: Seeing seven Scrooges in a row

Los Angeles Times: Arts journalists view each visit to the theater like as a kind of Christmas morning present, ornately wrapped so you have little idea what’s inside. As the house lights dim, I think to myself: Will I see a profound commentary on cultural identity? Or a frame-breaking play that enlightens us about the Constitution? Maybe it’s something from a bold new voice that could change the performance art forever.

During the monotonous holiday season, however, the answer might be just another staging of “A Christmas Carol.” Ebenezer Scrooge was right — bah, humbug, indeed.
