As things begin to wind down on Bryan Hill and the semester comes to a close, there is one group on campus whose work is not yet done. Beginning today at 7:30 p.m. the Hilltop Players and the Music Department will present \u201cScrooge\u2014The Musical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the final curtain came down for \u201cThe Oedipus Story,\u201d work began on Scrooge.<\/p>\n

According to Director Bernie Belisle, \u201cThe two most intense parts of a [show\u2018s rehearsal period] are the beginning and the end. What has happened was that we have the end of Oedipus and the beginning of Scrooge overlapping, so the two most difficult parts were on top of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the schedules were so conflicting, Belisle says the Theater Department will not do it this way again.<\/p>\n

One of the most demanding pieces of this musical is the stage. Scrooge claims its place among all the stages of Belisle\u2019s 18 years at Bryan as the largest and most intricate.<\/p>\n

Scrooge, unlike the more recent musicals done on campus, is very demanding in the tech department.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is challenging because there is a lot of expectations in terms of special effects,\u201d Belisle said. \u201cPlus, we have a village scene, so we have to find a way to get scenery off and on quickly, so it has been very challenging that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite all of these challenges, the Hilltop Players are excited to present, for the first time, their rendition of Charles Dickens\u2019 \u201cA Christmas Carol.\u201d Filled with beautiful lyrics, spooky songs by Marley\u2019s ghost and the ever-popular show tune music.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a genuinely entertaining show that will lift your spirits and make you fully prepared for the Christmas season,\u201d said senior Jason Hundley, who plays the role of Scrooge.<\/p>\n

The show will run Dec. 9-11 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets for Scrooge are still available at the Box Office in Rudd 114 from 12:00 -4:30 p.m. Credit card purchases can be made through the Bryan Bookstore at (423)-775-7271. The matinee cost $7. Regular show time tickets cost $5 for Bryan students, $8 for all other students and $10 for adults. For ticket availability call the Box Office at (423)-775-7500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
