Christmas Carol, Austin style. An undercurrent of Dickens, lots of modern music, incredible choreography, a "Ghost of Christmas Past" with panache and a glowing wig, and Madonna's song, "Holiday" thrown in for good measure.
As always your images are phenomenal. They are what theater people want but so seldom see.
It looks like Zach has a black Scrooge! More power to the company!! A Christmas Carol is about greed, self-concern, regret and reflection, and eventual redemption-truly universal themes. Every theater company claims to be color-blind in casting, but few actually have the guts to do so. Congratulations to Zach.
Bob, our "Ghost of Christmas Past" is African-American, as is the "Ghost of Bob Marley" and even our "Tiny Tina" (who is also a femaie!!!) Zach is all about inclusion, diversity and the big tent. I'm so proud to be associated. Funny thing, our Scrooge is such a great actor that after the first five minutes of the play the audience truly does become completely color blind...

Great colors in the show and you captured it wonderfully, Kirk.
Wow, what a set! Wish we were closer to Austin than Indy, it looks like a phenomenal production. Much fun to shoot.
