Ebeneeza updates "A Christmas Carol" in Hartford, CT

A friend on Facebook posted a link about a play he saw in Hartford on Friday night.

I've personally seen the wonderful version of "A Christmas Carol" at the Hartford Stage, but I had never even heard of this. By the description, it seems like a very touching version.

In Ebeneeza: A Hartford Holiday Carol, HartBeat Ensemble tells a local story of the old miser’s path to rediscovering humanity. Set in present day Greater Hartford, Ebeneeza seeks to provide some current answers to the classic question of Dickens’ enduring morality play; how does a heart become so hardened...read more about "Ebeneeza", brought to you by the HartBeat Ensemble.

Rest in Peace, Stan

A dark cloud formed over Manhattan yesterday, and just as suddenly, a bright light shine through the clouds as the sky was ripped from the inside out by thousands of legendary heroes, assembling to pay homage to their Creator and his aged typewriter.
