Michelle is delighted to return for a second year in the “Actor 1” track in TheatreSquared’s production of Charles Dickens’s classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL. In this fun, festive, and heartwarming adaptation by T2 co-founders Amy Herzberg & Bob Ford, Michelle plays a Victorian-era librarian left with a young boy abandoned in her library on Christmas Eve. Unsure what to do, she turns to those who have never steered her wrong - her books - and decides to read a newly-published novel to this child: A Christmas Carol. The boy is swept up in her narration and the story comes to life before his eyes within the stacks. Eventually the Librarian herself is drawn in as well, and even gets to step into the story as Mrs. Cratchit.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL runs in-person December 1st-24th, 2022 and streams December 16th-24th: https://www.theatre2.org/christmas-carol/
