THE CHRISTMAS MISER

Arthur Felton is a tight-fisted, grasping, old miser. He's also a famous actor playing Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. On stage, Arthur's friendly warmth has made his audience love him. Backstage, it's different. Arthur fires a young actor who's late for rehearsal even though the young man had to arrange for an operation for his wife. Then Arthur is visited by a once-promising actress whom he fired and by his sister. What they say shakes him. Then an old cleaning woman appears and makes Arthur resolve to make amends. Suddenly Arthur realizes that it's Christmas and that he strongly resembles another famous old miser! Like Scrooge, he takes steps—joyous steps! Bare stage w/props.
