The Cratchits (in America)
written by Artistic Affiliate James Still
directed by Artistic Affiliate Halena Kays
October 23, 2023
The Cratchit family. Weren’t they in “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens? Yes. But this is about another Cratchit family that is both contemporary and American. Adult siblings Martha, Belinda, and (Tiny) Tim share history with Dickens’ fictive family, but also have history of their own making. Set in a declining American city called Dickens, they are a family of broken relationships trying to find ways to repair and move forward.
