Theatre--Performance

Everyone is familiar with Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. For its 2011 Christmas show, the Iberia Performing Arts League will present A Carol for Tiny Tim by John R. Carroll. This “sequel” takes place fifteen years after the miraculous transformation of Ebeneezer Scrooge. But this time it is not Scrooge who is in need of holiday help, but (the no longer Tiny) Tim. Now a spoiled young man, Tim uses deceit to collect sympathy and money from family and friends and has grown to be a thoroughly unpleasant young man. Take care in knowing that Tim will learn valuable lessons and once again be able to bring an honest and sincere message of “God Bless us, Everyone” to audiences young and old. This warm and wonderful show is destined to become a classic in itself.  Suited for the entire family, the show is directed by Donna Berard, and performances will be Thursdays through Sundays, December 1  through December 11 at the Essanee Theater in downtown New Iberia. Evening performances (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) begin at 7:30 P.M., with Sunday matinees at 3:00. Advance tickets in New Iberia are available at Delaune’s Pharmacy, Paul’s Flower Shop, or Accentrics on Main Street.
