Over 700 Attended a Rainy Opening Night for "The Christmas Carol"

Dec. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- "The Christmas Carol" based on Dickens classic tale with a similar name, is The Relevant Stage's annual yuletide offering, now in its third incarnation.  The show features musical arrangement by Robert Gross, and new music and words by Ray Buffer infused with the writings of Charles Dickens.  It is also the directing debut of Kara McLeod.

One of the new elements this year is the addition of choreographer, Jan Kain.  

Jan is the owner/director of “People’s Yoga, Health & Dance” where she teaches Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Kettlebells & many types of dance & dance fitness.  Jan has been dancing, acting & singing since the age of six, professionally since the age of ten.  As a child she danced with the New York City Ballet as well as appearing in shows on Broadway, off-Broadway & summer stock.  She is also a certified Personal Trainer & Health & Wellness Coach.  Jan dedicates her first work with The Relevant Stage to her inspiration:  her 96-year-old mother.

The Warner Grand Theatre is owned by the City of Los Angeles, and the large attendance at the opening night performance caught many off guard, and intermission had to be extended to accommodate long lines at concessions and restrooms.  However, every audience member left smiling after a spirited performance by the cast including, Scrooge actor, Jack E. Curenton.  

This special night was made even more special following the curtain call, as an actor  from prior TRS productions (Justin Brooks) took the opportunity to propose marriage in front of the live audience.  Upon acceptance, the audience roared.
